Hydraulic hitch positioning system
DRIVE
June 23, 2026
A hydraulic hitch positioning system for positioning a hitch of a pulled device relative to a pulling vehicle. The hydraulic hitch positioning system includes first frames and second frames connected to anchors. The first frames include a first slider. The second frames include a second slider. The second slider encompasses a hydraulic cylinder and hitch connecting section. The hydraulic hitch positioning system includes a chain and sprocket assembly connecting the first slider and second slider. The movement of the second slider is transmitted to the first slider through the chain and sprocket assembly, causing the first slider to move in the opposite direction to the second slider at twice the distance. The arrangement results in total movement of the hitch connecting section three times the stroke of the hydraulic cylinder. The hitch connecting section can be positioned at any point between the extreme limits of the hydraulic hitch positioning system.
