Tow hitches may likewise be connecting to a tow-bar to the nose of an aircraft or a set of main gears. There are several forms of hitches. They could be in the form of a tow pin and jaw with a trailer loop. This particular design is usually utilized for agricultural applications with big vehicles where slack in the pivot pin enables swiveling and articulation. It can likewise take the form of a tow-ball so as to enable the same movements of a trailer. The towing pintle is one more category of hitches that is utilized on military vehicles internationally.
The ball mount allows the ball to be mounted to it while receiver hitches have ball mounts which are removable. The fixed drawbar hitch is another kind of hitch. These kinds have incorporated ball-mounts. It is important for the ball-mount to match the SAE hitch class. The ball-mount used in a receiver type of hitch is a rectangular bar that fits into a receiver that is connected to the motor vehicle.

There are different pickup trucks that come equipped along with 1 to 3 mounting holes placed in the middle part of the rear bumper. This design was applied in order to accommodate the mounting of trailer tow-balls. The ones on the farthest right or left are usually used by drivers in rural settings who tow wide farm equipment on two lane roads. The far side mounting allows the trailer and all that being towed to be further away from the opposite side of the road.
People have to use extreme caution whenever using the bumper of a pickup truck for towing instead of using a frame mounted hitch, because the bumper does not provide as much strength. Bumper towing is normally reserved for towing lighter types of loads.
