FAQ

What is a hitch pin (plow pin)?
A solid steel pin that connects an implement to a tractor, truck or trailer by passing through the holes in the hitch. A lynch pin or clip through the hole in the end of the pin keeps it from working loose.

How do I choose the right size?
Choose a pin diameter that fits snugly in the hitch holes. Lengths are usable length, measured from under the head to the lynch pin hole, so pick a usable length at least as long as the full width of your hitch.

Why choose a pin with a chain or lanyard?
The chain or lanyard keeps the lynch pin or clip attached to the pin. You can also fasten it to the equipment so neither the pin nor the clip gets lost.

What does Grade 5 mean?
Grade 5 is medium carbon steel that has been heat treated. It is stronger than standard low carbon steel pins, so it is a good choice for towing and heavy implements.
