Abstract
A hitch structure comprises a support frame adapted to be mounted to a tail portion of a work vehicle, a tube supported crosswise on the support frame and a hitch for connecting a work machine to the work vehicle. The hitch is comprised of an upper jaw plate and a lower jaw plate joined together by a pin in such a manner as to be capable of opening and closing actions, whereby the jaw plates can cooperate to hold the tube on the support frame. The hitch structure thus allows easy mounting and releasing, produces little play, and is free from worries about its parts being lost.
