Fast hitch/side hill hitch value

RandyM · Jan 20, 2020

From my Farmall 450, I have a fast hitch draw bar which has had a side hill hitch welded to it. The side hill hitch was then welded to the swinging draw bar. I plan to sell these but wanted opinions on whether I should try to sell it as a complete set up or should I grind the welds off and sell the individual pieces? I have a second fast hitch draw bar so this one is not needed.

In my experience you MIGHT get $50 to $75 for the separate side hill hitch on a good day. And then you have to find a very interested buyer. I would not waste
my time and acetylene.

I live in some hills in Wisconsin. Side Hill hitches were commo back when plows were used. I was raised on Iowa flat land and when I moved here I saw those Side Hill hitches for the first time.

I have one mounted on my H Farmall, just for people to ask about it at shows (Flat landers never know what it is!).. It is bolted to the far right side of the big "U" drawbar, then the adjusting arm is bolted to the swinging drawbar while the adjusting handle is straight up and easy to reach on-the-go. No welding is needed nor should any welding be used...seems to me.

If plowing on a hillside, and if the trailer plow starts to drift downhill some, you can just move the adjusting handle and adjust so the plow follows correctly.

At farm auctions in this area, they often sell for up to $100.00. They work best on those big old Farmall drawbars.
