  • Patent number: 6015016
    Abstract: The connection aid takes the form of a spring-loaded stand that is attached to the tongue of an implement for cradling support of the driveline at or near the height of the power take-off shaft of the tractor when the implement is not connected to the tractor. The driveline and the power take-off shaft can be readily aligned and reconnected when the implement is to be hitched to the tractor by simply pushing down on the driveline against the spring-loading of the stand or by slightly lifting the driveline with the help of the spring-loading of the stand to the extent necessary. Once the driveline has been connected, the stand may be swung down out of the way and into a stowed position substantially recessed below the top surface of the tongue.
