Steve's Hitch

Steve’s Hitch is an attachment for use on skid steers, forklifts and utility tractors’ 3-point hitches. Steve’s Hitch can safely and efficiently move equipment that uses ball/coupler, pintle, clevis/tongue, gooseneck and fifth-wheel style hitches.

Steve’s Hitch was invented by Steven and Ronald Gerres in 2001. Steve worked, along with his father, at the local Farmers Cooperative as part of a high school work-release program. Part of Steve’s job was to move anhydrous ammonia tank wagons/trailers/applicators that needed filling and park them for customer pick-up or delivery. After constantly getting in and out of the truck or on and off of the tractor, Steve asked his father if they could build a hydraulic attachment for skid steers so he would be able to move the equipment around efficiently and safely in confined and congested areas, so they built the first Steve’s Hitch. They say it saves them time and money, plus has a huge benefit as a worker safety and injury protection device.
