Eapele Trailer Hitch for Riding Mowers — Solid Iron, Universal Fit Kit (Black) with Mounting Bars

Eapele's trailer hitch is a solid iron tow mounting kit that converts compatible riding mowers and garden tractors into reliable yard-hauling machines.

Whether you need to move a small trailer, log splitter, garden cart or lightweight utility trailer, this heavy-duty hitch is built to bolt onto many popular riding mower frames. Constructed from powder-coated iron and supplied with multiple mounting bars and hardware, the kit fits a wide range of brands including John Deere, Ariens, Cub Cadet, Poulan Pro, Husqvarna and Craftsman — though slight trimming or drilling may be required for a perfect fit on some models.

How does this hitch attach to my riding mower?

The Eapele hitch uses a bolt-on design that fastens to a mower’s full-length rear plate using the included bars and fasteners. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools, and the package contains options to accommodate various frame shapes.

• Comes with one hitch body and two pairs of mounting bars (short and long) for fit flexibility.
• All necessary bolts, nuts and washers are included for a typical install.
• Some tractors may need minor modifications: trimming, bending, or drilling new holes.

What towing tasks can I do with this hitch?

This hitch transforms a lawn tractor into a yard work helper capable of pulling carts, small trailers, log splitters and lightweight campers on short moves. It’s optimized for property maintenance and utility tasks rather than heavy highway towing.

• Pull garden carts and lawn trailers for hauling mulch, soil, and tools.
• Tow log splitters or small equipment around the yard with improved control.
• Move small boats, mini-campers or storage trailers to and from sheds on private property.

Is the hitch durable and weather-resistant?

Built from solid iron and finished with a robust black powder coat, the Eapele hitch resists abrasion and corrosion common in outdoor equipment. The construction is intended for regular yard use and light-duty towing tasks.

• Solid iron body for dependable strength under normal garden towing loads.
• Powder-coated finish reduces rust and improves long-term durability.
• Hardware is supplied to create a secure connection when installed correctly.

What else is included and what do I need to provide?

The kit is packaged with the hitch assembly, multiple mounting bars and all mounting screws and nuts needed for most installs. Note that the tow ball is not supplied, so you'll need to purchase an appropriate hitch ball separately to match your trailer coupler and load requirements.

• Included: 1 hitch body, two pairs of mounting bars, full set of screws, nuts and washers.
• Not included: trailer hitch ball — select size and rating compatible with your trailer.
• Installation tools: common wrenches, drill may be required for some frames.

Who is this for? If you own a compatible riding mower or garden tractor from brands like John Deere, Ariens, Cub Cadet, Poulan Pro, Husqvarna or Craftsman and you need a robust, bolt-on solution for towing light trailers and equipment around your property, the Eapele hitch is a practical, affordable upgrade. It's best suited for homeowners, landscapers, and hobby farmers who want to add utility to their mower without major fabrication — though a little mechanical aptitude and occasional trimming or drilling may be needed to fit some tractor models.
