Welding plates for bullet pulls and ball gloves

More and more people are discovering the advantages of using a ball hitch instead of a hitch or a fork type with a pin. You get a safer connection that can handle today's loads better, while at the same time improving comfort by eliminating the slack that causes jerkiness.

Ball joint with cassette

Ball hitches are available in both versions where they are placed in an existing sleeve or cassette, e.g. on a tractor that already has the option to switch between different types of hitches. But more and more people want to be able to use ball hitches for other applications and then other solutions are needed.

Welding plates and screw plates for boltable ball joints and ball sleeves

If you do not have a ready-made cassette, but want to attach a ball hitch to, for example, an excavator, it is common to attach it to the dozer blade. This makes it easy to connect and disconnect a trailer. Some excavators have bolt holes in the blade that can fit, but in other cases a welding plate or screw plate is required. We have welding and screw plates with different hole patterns suitable for most of our boltable hitches. You can find them all here.

The second application can be when you have an existing cart or tool that needs to be adapted to be able to mount a ball glove. In that case, a welding plate can also be used.

Some implements, e.g. from Väderstad, are often prepared and have a bolt-on hitch. If you want to change to a ball hitch there, check the hole pattern and find the right hitch for you. Our suppliers are reliable suppliers such as Scharmüller and Walterscheid.

Worth thinking about

Remember to check how much load you can put on your machine when changing towbars. Towbars are often rated for a certain load (specifications are often available from manufacturers), but what it looks like in a specific case is affected by your machine and how you mount it. Always think about safety first.
