A second gearbox () is pivotally coupled to the first gearbox () about a vertical pivot axis () through which drive is transmitted from the second gearbox () to the first gearbox (). A carrier housing () is rigidly secured to the second gearbox () and carries a first hitch () for hitching to a complementary hitch mechanism of a road vehicle, and a second hitch () for coupling a tractor (). The second gearbox () is pivotal relative to the first gearbox () about the main pivot axis () between a first state with the first hitch () ready for hitching to the road vehicle, and a second state with the second hitch () ready for hitching to the tractor ().
