A robust towing device is the key to connecting correctly – and safely. In everyday farming, you need to switch quickly between implements, trailers, and transport solutions without compromising on stability or safety. At Sagro, you’ll find towing devices designed for 3-point hitches – built to handle heavy loads, varying angles, and frequent connections.
Whether you’re looking for a tractor tow ball, a trailer hitch, or an adapter bracket to connect a car trailer to your tractor, we have the solution that makes the job simple and secure.
What Is a Towing Device – and How Is It Used?
Towing devices are used to connect the tractor to different types of trailers, implements, or transport wagons. In a 3-point hitch system, they’re often mounted centrally on the implement frame or via a drawbar – and can take different forms depending on what you’re connecting:
- Clevis hitches for trailers with a towing eye
- Tow balls for ball couplings (e.g. car trailers)
- Adapters for tow hooks to switch between coupling standards
- Detachable tow hooks for quick removal when needed
The right coupling reduces strain on both the machine and the implement – providing a smoother and safer driving experience in the field, on the road, or around the farmyard.
When Should You Replace or Upgrade Your Towing Device?
Wear, deformation, or play in the coupling can cause jerky motion, uneven load distribution, and in the worst case, failure. It’s time to replace or upgrade your towing device if:
- The towing pin is bent, worn, or cracked
- The ball coupling no longer locks correctly
- There is noticeable play between the hitch and the implement
- You’re switching to a new implement with a different coupling type
Always replace it with a model rated for the load you’re working with – and make sure the mount and connection are compatible with your vehicle.
Which Tractors and Machines Fit Sagro’s Towing Devices?
Our range covers both older and modern tractor models, as well as implement carriers and other agricultural machines with 3-point hitches. We offer:
- Tractor hitches for standardized 3-point linkages (Category 1–3)
- Adapters that allow car trailers to be connected to tractors
- Hitches for trailers, wagons, forestry trailers, and special equipment
- Combination mounts that integrate tow hooks and ball couplings in one system
Do I Need to Consider Electrical Connections for Trailer Coupling?
Yes. If you’re towing a trailer or wagon equipped with lighting, an electrical connection is required. Sagro offers wiring diagrams and accessories for proper installation – ensuring legal and safe lighting for road transport.
