A tractor hitch

A tractor hitch (10) including a safety device comprising an abutment (23) on at least one rail (11) which is engaged by a pivoting latch (25) carried by hitching means (13) as the hitching means moves towards one end of at least one groove (14, 15). The pivoting latch (25) is pivotable to a position where the abutment (23) can no longer be engaged when it is desired to remove the hitching means (13) from the end of the at least one groove (14, 15). Generally the tractor hitch has a pair of vertical support rails (11, 12) between which the hitching means (13) is vertically slideable in vertically extending grooves (14, 15) in the rails. Generally the hitching means (13) is lockable at various different heights between the rails by a locking means (19) carried by the hitching means (13) which engages locking formations (20) in the rails. Advantageously operation of the safety device is more convenient.
