Can anyone ID this trailer hitch
« on: April 19, 2010, 11:56:35 pm »
Does anyone have any info on this hitch?
It has two big springs connected to it in between the frame rails. There is a slot cut into the rear bumper where the hitch comes out. There is a lever that hangs down below the bumper on the left side that I haven't figured out yet. What is this designed to tow?

Thanks,
Aaron K

Looks to me a DMI Quick cushion hitch for hauling grain wagons

Zieg hit the nail on the head. Its for pulling grain/hay wagons. My 87 v20 had one in the bed that had been taken off just after it was purchased from the pig farmer that had bought the truck new.
