Zusammenfassung:	An implement (12) is connected through its towing tongue (25) to a tractor (10) by way of an upright transmission (43) and a coupler which comprises a hitch bracket (28) and hitch adapter (80). In order to avoid the transmission (43) having to withstand the towing forces, the transmission (43) is supported entirely by the tongue (25), and the coupler (28, 80) is connected to the tractor (10) and tongue (25) exclusively of the transmission (43). In this way the towing forces by-pass the transmission (43) and are transmitted by the coupler (28, 80). This means that the transmission (43) can be less robust and therefore can be made cheaper. The transmission (43) can comprise two identical right angle gear boxes (46, 52) of which the lower box (52) is turned to maintain alignment by a steering arm (102) connected to the hitch adapter (80) as the tractor (10) turns.
