Abstract
A device for automatically coupling an implement to a vehicle comprises a rigid frame pivotally mounted on the chassis of the vehicle and extending generally horizontally therefrom. A hitching frame is pivotally mounted on the horizontal frame and carries upper and lower pairs of hitching jaws engageable with horizontal support bars of the implement. A double-acting ram is operatively connected to the hitching frame to pivot the hitching frame relative to the rigid frame during coupling and uncoupling operations.
