Dual Hitch Receiver Mount for SSQA

[Xfaxman]

I ordered this super strong SSQA hitch from a site advertiser, Skid Steer Solutions: Skid Steer Receiver Hitches



With the ball mount in the top receiver, I can see the ball from the seat in my V417 Versahandler. That makes it very quick and easy to line up the ball as I drive up to the gooseneck.


Raise the boom and drive off with the trailer.




For a bumper pull trailer I use a six inch drop ball mount in the bottom receiver.


Raise the boom, curl down until I can see the ball under the Quick Attach, drive forward lining up the ball with the trailer hitch. Look at the top of the ball just under the hitch, in the last picture, below.


Curl up and drive off with the trailer.


It is a very handy hitch!

You sure have a lot of nice toys. Looks very handy.

If you had a front camera on the boom, you wouldn't even need to tilt the hitch to see where the ball is going ... a camera is on my wish list for use positioning my hydraulic auger more accurately.

I have thought about adding a wireless (because the boom extends) camera to the two that I have now.

Right Rear.


Right Front.


I didn't look at the monitor when hooking up the bumper pull because I could see the ball looking out the windshield. It would be a slightly lower view from the camera.

Do you have a video clip of driving "forward" (backing trailers up) and keeping those trailers in alignment?

Yep, pulling no problem :thumbsup:.

Nope, no video, but I did back up the first two to hook on to the last two.

Used the Ranger's front hitch to push the last two next to the fence.


Then backed up and turned sharp close to the first two.


Pushed the first two back to the last two and hooked on.

They are Trimbren rubber springs. Aeon


The hitch is a Cushion Coupler, bought it about ten years ago, for a horse trailer, sold it and put the CC hitch on the flatbed.


The original manufacturer was bought by Pop Up. They have changed the design to a single spring.
