electric sleeve hitch, for a garden tractor, using a low cost winch.

How to fabricate an electric sleeve hitch for use on your garden tractor using low cost items. It can also be made quicker and cheaper if you can weld the items together vs. bolting them as I did.

I just had the opportunity to move a large limb from one of my mowed trails with this hitch. I simply unhooked the end hook and unwound the cable enough to hook around the limb. Using the garden tractor I skidded it out of the way. I put the cable hook back on the eye bolt and I had my hitch again!

Getting ready to start the build this weekend , how did it hold up over the past year ?

Great! I had to remove it in order to attach my snow blade and frame that anchors to the rear frame but that will be coming off shortly and my winch will be added then.

Let me know how it goes and feel free to ask any questions if necessary. I have found only one drawback. If pulling a cart or other item with CG behind its wheels it can lift the hitch up as it is free to float. Just be sure to have some down pressure on the hitch and it will work great.
