Double Pin Cradle Hitch

The Double Pin Cradle Earth Drill hitch  is supplied in loose pin version to suit standard and quick hitch solutions on most excavators & backhoes.

No mechanical parts or dampers mean that even if your Earth Drill and hitch have a tough life ahead of them you will not have to worry about costly replacements or breakdowns.

Just like all Auger Torque products only the highest grade steel is used in the fabrication of this style hitch. Please note all hitches are made to order and can sometimes carry a lead time of 3/4 days. Please contact us for availability
