Abstract
A quick hitch for mounting an implement on a machine includes at least one lug for connecting the machine and a securing assembly for securing the quick hitch to an implement. The securing assembly includes an over-center mechanism and a locking member. The over-center mechanism includes a first member pivotal at an axis D relative to a chassis, a first end of a first link that pivots at an axis E relative to a first arm of the first member, and a second end of the link that pivots at an axis F. When the securing assembly is in a first position with the hitch secured to an implement, axis E lies on a first side of a line between axes D and F. When in a second position with the hitch unattached, axis E lies on a second side of a line between axes D and F.
