Hitch Hero is designed to be a unique safety stabilising device from RT Sales, to bring safety and stability to heavy three-point linkage mounted implements, particularly mowers.
Kerry company RT Sales is best known for its in-house designed range of hedge cutters, but the firms most recent innovation is the Hitch Hero. The Hitch Hero is a mounting and stabilising system designed to improve how rear-mounted machinery, in particular mower conditioners, are mounted to a tractor.
Farmers and contractors have long accepted the sway and shudder of the lift-mounted conditioner mowers as part of the job when cutting silage. But Padraig Teehan, from RT Sales says that every oscillation sends dynamic and shock loads straight into the tractor’s three point linkage and, critically, the cross shaft – one of the most expensive and time-consuming components to repair.
This system was designed to stabilise lift-mounted mowers and transfer forces to the strongest structural point of the tractor, thus eliminating the destructive lateral movement that has plagued operators for decades.

RT Sales says the result is a smoother, safer and far more reliable mowing experience, especially when lifting the mower and turning during operation.
Hitch Hero’s development follows the same philosophy that guided the creation of RT Sales’ award winning ProArm 2122T hedge-cutter. When Padraig Teahan designed the ProArm, he did it from the driver’s seat – literally. He built the machine around the needs, frustrations and daily realities of contractors. The Hitch Hero frame is patented and CE approved.
