Front Hitch Mirror

[Runner]

One of the main reasons I built my front loader mounted quick hitch was to attach a three-point trailer hitch to the front for moving my trailers around. Problem is, I can't see the hitch ball when I go to hitch up and it is a pain to have to keep stopping, putting the machine in neutral, raising up off the seat, etc., to get it lined up.

So, I made up a mirror that attaches to the quick hitch frame out of scrap and some old mirrors I had lying around. This just hangs on the quick hitch and is easily removable if necessary. No more hassle when hitching up.

Great idea! Simple but affective. Get ready for the orders to start rolling in.

Runner,

I picked up a box of 6 or 8 mirrors at a yard sale last spring. It was $2 for the box but I didn't really have a need for them, at the time. A few days ago I mounted a quick hitch in the bucket of my FEL and while trying it out to hook up a blade I had to get off to check the line up.

With your invention I now have a way to use up my bargain mirrors and be able to see when hooking up am implement without getting of the seat.

I might even adapt the concept to hook up a trailer on my pickup.

Thanks,

Clem
