TRACTOR WITH A REMOVABLE HITCH BALL

摘要

A tractor (10) having a cargo box (26) and an axle mounted hitch ball (60) in which the hitch ball (60) projects upward through an opening in the cargo box floor (34). This arrangement enables the ball (60) to be used when the cargo box (26) is mounted to the tractor (10). Furthermore, since the ball (60) is mounted to the axle (15) and not the cargo box (26), greater load carrying capacity is achieved and the hitch (28) can be used when the box (26) is removed from the tractor (10).
