How to choose a tow eye

 

Swivel or fixed? Donut eye or insert? Light or heavy?

 

  • The fixed tow hitch comes standard with smaller machines in the SAM range. Whereas the swivel tow hitch comes standard with larger models. This option provides you with added stability across varied terrain.
  • The donut eye is for use with a quick hitch.
  • For ordinary coupling with your tractor, an insert or a ball sits inside the donut eye.
  • Skids are also available for use with a quick hitch and bolt on easily to your machine.
  • The heavier weight tow eyes are for the larger machines in the SAM range.
