Easy to instal
November 17, 2018|Mark H, Florida

Sears asked for me to describe their product, they even suggested an Example like: Easy to instal it only took 20 minutes. Well they could not have chosen a better example but they were off as it only took me 10 minutes to instal. This sleeve hitch is simple and fast to instal as for it's use I'll let you know, it should work out well

Works well
July 08, 2018|DrivewayMaintenance, Undisclosed

I had to make an adaptation that is not recommended by Sears. I have a lawn tractor, not a garden tractor. So I drilled holes for the top of the hitch to attach. Another reviewer suggested a 5/8" bolt, 3 washers, and a lock nut and that's what I did. My mower is 12 years old and so I didn't care about voiding a warranty or ruining the machine. I've pulled a box blade with it so far and it works very well. If you do this modification, understand that it is not made to work on a basic lawn tractor and will hang a little lower than the garden tractors. That said, I wouldn't change a thing I did. I am now maintaining my gravel driveway much more easily than hand tools and much more inexpensively than renting a tractor or paying someone else (I've done both).

Installed on my lawn tractor
February 11, 2018|TimK, North Carolina

This hitch is not designed for your lawn tractor, but the modification is very easy. I installed it on my 2017 90th Anniversary mower. The bottom of the hitch plate fits directly to the tractor using the spacer plate and 5/8" bolt provided. Then you just have to drill a 5/8" hole on each side. Use a 5/8" bolt, 3 5/8" washers and a 5/8" lock nut to secure it to the tractor frame. I included a photos. The hitch is made well and works great. I use it with a drag box, rear blade, and yard trailer. The arm will not raise the blade very high when grading because of the 20" wheels and the fact that a lawn tractor does not sit as high as a garden tractor. I'm very satisfied with the product and can highly recommend it.xxxxx

well constructed
March 27, 2020|Ginstonic, Bell, FL

The sleeve hitch is pretty heavy and seems well constructed. The directions for installing onto the garden tractor were a little difficult to follow, but we managed to get it done. The plate on the rear of my garden tractor (the piece which the hitch connects to)is a little flimsy; I hope it holds up.
