FALLS X1 MODIFIED HUSTING HITCH QUICK COUPLER (41B Hitch System shown)

FEATURES:

  • This is a modified version of the 29" Husting Hitch. It has been modified to fit Falls Standards so now it's stronger, more flexible and reliable. A chain left has also been added to the truck-mounted portion. This delivers a smooth, "no pry" lifting action. The plow mount is made of rugged 8" x 4" x 1/2" angle iron with the entire length of the sliding pin slot reinforced with 1" square and 5" x 3" x 5/16" angle iron. It also has a center pivot pin which allows oscillation for closer manufacturing tolerances between truck and plow portions.
