Rippa Pro-Series Mini Skid Steer Ball Hitch – The Ultimate Trailer Mover
Stop struggling to back trailers into tight corners with a pickup truck. The Rippa Pro-Series Ball Hitch Attachment transforms your mini skid steer into the ultimate precision towing tool. By mounting the hitch to your loader arms, you gain an unobstructed view of the coupler and the ability to maneuver trailers with zero-turn accuracy.
Whether you are moving utility trailers around a crowded job site, positioning campers in a storage yard, or staging equipment at a warehouse, this heavy-duty attachment provides the visibility and control needed to spot trailers exactly where they belong.
Key Features & Selling Points
Maximum Operator Visibility: Unlike towing with a truck, the front-mount design allows you to see the hitch and the trailer coupler simultaneously. This eliminates the "blind spot" and makes hook-ups a one-person job.
Heavy-Duty 2" Receiver Hitch: Built with a standard 2-inch square receiver, allowing you to swap in different ball mounts, pintle hitches, or winches depending on your specific towing needs.
Reinforced Steel Construction: Fabricated from high-tensile, thick-wall steel to handle the tongue weight and pushing/pulling forces of fully loaded trailers without flexing.
Compact "Low-Profile" Frame: Designed to keep the load close to the machine. This maximizes your skid steer’s lifting capacity and stability while maintaining a tight turning radius.
Multi-Point Tie-Down Loops: Features integrated safety chain loops, ensuring that your trailer remains securely attached to the machine during transport over uneven terrain.
Universal Mini Skid Plate: Specifically designed to fit the industry-standard mini-mount (Commonly found on Rippa, Toro Dingo, Vermeer, and Ditch Witch-style units).
The Rippa Ball Hitch is shipped ready to put into service:
Precision-Fit Mounting Plate: Ensures a secure, "zero-slop" connection to your loader arms.
Pre-Drilled Hitch Pin Hole: 2" ball Standard, ready for any standard 5/8" hitch pin.
All-Weather Finish: Industrial-grade coating to prevent corrosion from rain, snow, and road salt.
Reinforced Torque Plates: Extra welding at the receiver tube to prevent "egging" under heavy tongue weight.
Ideal For:
Equipment Rental Yards: Quickly staging and moving rental trailers around the lot.
Landscapers: Positioning utility trailers in backyards or tight side-streets where trucks won't fit.
Boat & RV Storage: Moving large vessels and campers into tight indoor or outdoor stalls.
Construction Sites: Moving generators, light towers, and tool trailers across uneven ground.
