Example of STAN HITCH Bracket with PTO attached to a power harrow. The Bracket fits the STAN HITCH on the tractor side but has been modified to suit the power harrow fixing points. Please see diagram listing fixing point dimensions.

The STAN HITCH requires the implements to be attached to a STAN HITCH Bracket. The bracket is manufactured to suite the fixing point dimensions as shown in later pages. These fixing point dimensions vary enormously and each bracket is adjusted to suit. However, once fitted, the Bracket can remain in place permanently and makes hitching very easy.

The STAN HITCH works by the lifting lugs hooking up in slots in the top cross bar of the bracket. The tractor lifts the STAN HITCH slightly taking the weight of the implement and allowing the faces of the Hitch and Bracket come into contact. When this happens, the clamps are operated and the Bracket is held firmly against the STAN HITCH.

If the Bracket has a PTO drive plate, this engages the drive plate on the STAN HITCH. The STAN HITCH drive plate is driven outwards towards the Bracket drive plate during operation of the clamps. However, the thrust movement acts through springs which compress if the alignment of the bracket drive plate bosses do not match the STAN HITCH drive plate holes. As soon as the drive plates turn, the bosses fall into the drive plate holes under the spring pressure and direct drive is attained. This ensures positive coupling of the drive plates.
