Abstract

A tow hitch for an excavator comprises a steel body member preferably having the width of the excavator, and having more than one towing point 14,15,16 positioned along its length for towing one or more pieces of equipment in a central 15 or offset 14,16 position. At each end of the steel body are mounted U-shaped attachment clamps A,B which fit over the jack legs of the excavator, fixed in place by bolts 10,12 passing behind the jack legs. The U-shaped attachment clamps A,B are offset from the body member by short pillars so that the body member is positioned stepped down from the clamps. The hitch can be easily removed when it is not needed.
