Automatic Implement Hitch HITCHES Hitches 5-5-23 "This automatic hitch for hay or chopper wagons puts you in the driver's seat and leaves you there." So says Robert Rimmey, inventor of the Rim-A-Matic implement hitch that lets you hook up or unhook wagons right from the tractor seat. The device is patented, and he is now looking for someone to manufacture it. The hitch works on a simple mechanical principle. It consists of (1) a metal guide mounted on the tractor or implement drawbar, and (2) a spring mounted on the wagon tongue that holds it up level with the hitch. When you back up to the wagon, the tongue follows along the guide until it is lined up and then springs into place. To unhitch, the driver pulls a rope that disengages the pin before he pulls away. The hitch is designed to fit almost any kind of chopper, baler, corn picker or other implement, says Rimmey. It can be used for several wagons or implements hitched in tandem.
