Towing device for a tractor and the like

A towing device, for tractors and the like, comprises a guide piece (4) fixed to the tractor rear (2) and a hitch (15) carried by a slide (5) mounted for sliding movement along the guide piece (4), and a counterbalance means (20) acting on the slide (5) to mitigate its weight, and has proved to be ergonomically effective and quick to operate whenever an operator is to shift the hitch (15) to a pre-set level matching the level of a towing eye of machinery to be taken in tow.
