Retriever Transport Hitch
The Retriever Transport Hitch converts your tandem axle semi-tractor into an agricultural
implement towing vehicle in as little as five minutes. With today's large
planting equipment, grain carts, fertilizer applicators, and tillage tools,
it is not always practical to move them with a farm tractor and loading on
a detachable implement trailer is time consuming and may involve expensive
permits.
The Retriever Transport Hitch gives operators the ultimate
in flexibility with CAT II and III Quick Attach two-point hookup as well as
a removable heavy-duty drawbar... all standard equipment. What's more the
Retriever Transport Hitch was designed from the ground up
specifically for towing large planters and implements so the drawbar hitch
stays perfectly level in the towing position.
Features
BATTERY CHARGER
The Retriever TH features an exclusive battery charging system to maintain
a full charge when mounted on the semi-tractor. The battery and charging
system are protected in a weather proof enclosure...another Retriever TH
first!
HYDRAULIC POWER PACK
12-volt hydraulic power pack operates the Retriever TH lift/lower functions
and remote valves. Mounted in a weather proof enclosure with removable lid,
the power pack is protected from weather, road salt, even power washing!
REMOVABLE DRAWBAR
Another time saving Retriever TH feature is the massive removable drawbar
that features a Drop Pin style hammerstrap that makes hitching to drawbar
type implements easy to do. With a 12,000 lb. drawbar capacity you'll tow
the largest implements.
2-POINT HITCH LIFT SYSTEM
The Patent Pending Two-Point hitch system features a lift/lower range of
motion based on tractor CAT III specifications. With Quick Attach hooks
that lock into receivers in the mast, changing from CAT III to CAT II takes
only a matter of seconds! With two lock pin locations the Quick Attach
hooks extend to handle Kinze planter two point hitches.
OPTIONAL
Elevated Quick Attach Hooks provide an extra 3" of lift height to the
two-point hitch system for extremely long planters.
Wet Kit Features
STORAGE BOXES
The Wet Kit model features two removable lid storage boxes that may be used
for your implement towing accessories.
TWO-FUNCTION HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE
A two-function hydraulic control valve operates the Lift Mast raise and
lower functions as well as the remote hydraulic outlets.
READY TO PLUMB
The Wet Kit model comes ready to plumb into your Wet Kit lines after you
add the appropriate couplers for your specific wet kit set up. (couplers
not included). Your couplers need to fit ¾" NPT threads.
CAT IV DRAWBAR
The optional CAT IV drawbar fits the drawbar receiver on the lift mast and
allows towing the largest implements equipped with CAT IV hitches. A 2"
hitch pin is included.
HIGH LIFT DRAWBAR
The optional Hi-Lift Drawbar uses the two-point hitch receivers to mount
and allows lifting the drawbar approximately 40" from the ground for towing
grain augers or other specialized equipment.

Installing and removing the Retriever® Transport Hitch from your
semi-tractor takes as little as five minutes. This means maximum
