Jerome Pratchler of Mumby Manufacturing in Muenster, Sask., said his new Ease Guide ball hitch system will simplify the process of trying to back up close enough to hook up bumper-mounted ball hitches.
The Ease Guide won the Most Outstanding New Invention Award at the Western Canada Farm Progress Show held June 17-19 in Regina.
His new hitch is a patented, cast steel, A-shaped cup that grabs a hitch ball and guides it into the receiver socket where a pin holds it in place. It has no moving parts and will come in three sizes rated at 8,000, 12,500 and 15,000 pounds. For more information, contact 888-682-1477 or www.mumbyhitches.com.
