Hitch beam
The TUZ hitch beam is a component that plays a key role in connecting agricultural implements to the tractor. It is a horizontal structural element that allows you to attach and stably support implements such as trailers, cultivators, or other equipment that requires strong and safe attachment.
Drawbar applications:
In agricultural tractors, the drawbar is used to mount a hitch that enables the connection of agricultural trailers , tools and machines such as seeders , spreaders or harrows .
Main functions:
Hitch attachment:
- The drawbar is the base to which the hitch (e.g. ball, pin or automatic) is attached. This provides a solid and safe connection between the vehicle and the trailer.
- The drawbar allows you to adjust the height and mounting angles of the hitch, allowing for compatibility with different types of trailers and implements.
Stabilization and durability:
- The drawbar distributes towing loads, increasing connection stability and reducing stress on the vehicle frame.
- This allows you to tow heavier loads efficiently and safely, without the risk of damage to the vehicle or trailer.
Adjustment and adaptation:
- In some designs, the drawbar can be adjusted, allowing the height of the hitch to be adjusted to suit different types of trailers and machinery.
- It may also allow you to change the angle of the setting, which is useful in difficult terrain conditions.
Support for additional systems:
- The drawbar is often equipped with brackets or mountings for hydraulic and electrical lines that are required to operate trailers with active systems (e.g. brakes, lighting).
- This allows additional components to be easily and safely connected to the trailer.
Structural reinforcement:
- The drawbar can reinforce the structure of the rear of the vehicle, which is important for vehicles used for intensive towing.
- Thanks to its solid construction, the beam provides additional strength and resistance to dynamic loads.
The three-point linkage drawbar is a key element that helps farmers quickly and efficiently switch between different tasks, which translates into greater efficiency and flexibility in agricultural work.
