Sleeve Hitch

[Anonymous Poster]

Hi,
Just some quick questions... What's a sleeve hitch? and How does it work? I've only seen bad pictures of them, but they look like light duty 3PT hitches. If so, do they lift the attachments? How? And how much can they lift?
Thanks,
DougR

Sleeve hitches are found on garden tractors and are basically "pull behind" hitches. I've never seen a hydraulic lift sleeve hitch. If you are doing to use a pull behind garden tractor implement with a compact tractor, you need to adapt the sleeve hitch to the drawbar.
