DESCRIPTION

The Schnell Industries Planter Conversion Hitch (Part# SPHUV10-JD) is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered drawbar conversion solution designed specifically for modern agricultural efficiency. Built for compatibility with John Deere planter systems, this hitch seamlessly converts a 2-point mounting system into a robust Category 4/5 pintle drawbar configuration.

Manufactured from ultra-strong 0.75-inch structural steel, it delivers exceptional durability under extreme field conditions while supporting tractors ranging from 180 to 450+ horsepower. The design ensures improved ground clearance, smoother field operation, and zero need for welding or permanent modifications.

Ideal for large-scale farming operations, this planter conversion hitch enhances versatility, reduces setup time, and bridges the gap created by increasingly larger planter equipment. Engineered for reliability, it provides a stable, secure connection while maintaining compatibility across multiple planter series. This is the ultimate upgrade for efficient, high-performance planting operations.
