VIAGL Lawn Mower Trailer Towing Hitch, Garden Tractor Pro Hi Hitch Compatible with John Deere Cub Cadet Husqvarna Riding Mowers

Good looking and solid. A little difficult to install due to the tractor design not the Hitch.

Fast deliver and very solid components. Unit was relatively easy to install and can remain on the tractor without interfering with my other tow behinds and grass catchers.I use it to move a couple of my boat trailers around the property. I will likely find more uses for it now that I’ve seen how well it works.

The one thing you must be prepared for is to do a little modification to the support struts. I've go a John Deere 150 and I had to change the bends in the longer struts to fit. That said they then fitted straight to the slots on the back plate (I assume they are there for accessories such as this). The whole thing seems very sturdy now.

Ok, I saw this and figured I could make this and then realized why would I spend all that time to do it.Pros: it is well made and is very sturdy. The power coat finish is great.Cons: Hardware is kinda a joke. Support arms not bent at the correct angles for my type of installation.The 3/4” diameter bolt is really too long for most applications, I used a big nut from my junk box as a spacer. The other bolts were 6mm and were not up for the challenge for my installation, I purchased two 1/4” x 1” carriage bolts and one 5/16” x 2-1/2” hex bolt plus an assorted nuts and washers. There are two support arms, one longer than the other. For my John Deere I used the shorter ones but the prebent angles did not work. I had to clamp the arm in my vice and “unbend” one end and bend the other end more sharply.I fished the carriage bolts up through the back plate of the transaxle using a piece of twisted pair of network wire so that I did not have to try getting my hand and fingers there. The transaxle back plate had slotted holes so the carriage bolts engaged in the slots so I did no the need a second wrench to tighten the nuts. I installed the weldment to the tractor with the 3/4” bolt first followed by the arms to the tractor with the 1/4” bolts and left everything a bit loose.I then installed the 5/16” hex bolt through one arm, the main weldment and the second arm. At this point I tightened everything.Once everything was tight I found this assemble to be very sturdy and should be great for moving my empty trailers around. Bottom line I did need to make a trip to the store to get hardware and the support arms required a bit of tweaking but it was a beautiful day here in Vermont and I didn’t mind.

I installed this trailer towing hitch on my smallest riding mower. I had to drill a couple holes in the back frame plate for the top bars because my mower did not have predrilled holes. That was not too difficult as I had the proper drills and drill bits for the job. The towing hitch itself works fine and I was towing some utility and snowmobile trailers around the yard putting them in their parking spot. I like that the towing hitch comes with a smaller and larger set of bars depending on the size of your mower's back plate. I can see moving this hitch to a larger mower at the end of the summer. It's nice to have both sets of bars so it can fit different sized mowers.
