A tractor-mounted utility container ( 20 ) is provided having a main body ( 24 ) and an alternate use panel ( 26 ) which can be positioned in an upright fashion to close the rear opening ( 74 ) of the body ( 24 ), or alternately in a horizontal orientation within the confines of the body ( 24 ). In either orientation, the panel ( 26 ) has a tool-holding section ( 84 ) which is capable of holding handled tools ( 134 ) for travel. The main body ( 24 ) and panel ( 26 ) have interengageable mounting structure ( 48, 76, 78, 54, 66, 92 ) for maintaining the panel ( 26 ) in the alternate positions thereof. The container ( 20 ) may be mounted on the draw plate ( 34 ) of a tractor ( 22 ) by means of an improved universal hitch assembly ( 32 ). The assembly ( 32 ) includes a slotted connection plate ( 110 ) which can be attached to the hitch plates ( 34 ) of different tractors ( 22 ) together with an upright connector ( 116 ) supported by the plate ( 110 ) and received within a socket ( 78 ) formed in the front wall ( 42 ) of main body ( 24 ).
