HOWBOW Zero Turn Trailer Hitch Kit — Universal 1/4" (6mm) Heavy-Duty Steel Tow Hitch with Pin, Powder-Coated Black & Green

HOWBOW Zero Turn Trailer Hitch Kit is a heavy-duty, universal tow hitch and hitch-pin assembly that bolts to most zero-turn mowers and small tractors to tow trailers, carts, and accessories safely.

This compact towing kit is built from 1/4" (6mm) thick steel, powder-coated for weather resistance, and designed to handle everyday towing tasks around the yard. It combines a rugged hitch plate with a wide chain slot, an easy-use hitch pin with rubber cover, and included carriage bolts and R-clip so you can mount and start towing quickly. The universal hole spacing and slot design make it a straightforward aftermarket upgrade for many mower brands and models.
