| If you own a John Deere model
325, 335, 345, 355D, GX series or X500 series
two wheel steer John Deere garden tractor, you will
find out sooner or later just how limited your towing capability is
due to the design of the flat rear "Box Style" frame and relatively
thin steel of the hitch plate. Based on my personal experience
with my own tractor, I have developed a line of bolt on
utility hitches that will allow you to dramatically increase the
usefulness of these garden tractors with no modification to the tractor
it's self. The "Saddle" design of my hitch actually
spreads the working load across the entire rear cross member of the
frame in much the same way a horse saddle distributes a riders weight
across the horse's back. Click on the following links to view pictures
and more information on each hitch. Always follow
towing recommendations concerning
how much weight you can safely tow with your tractor. Please note:
I do not sell hitches for use on the John Deere 100, LT or LX
series lawn tractors. The 100, LT and LX series are classified
as lawn tractors not garden tractors, as such they are simply not
strong enough to handle the potential loads that can be generated
using these hitches. Also please note, I do not sell hitches
for non-John Deere garden tractors so please don't ask.

HITCH ACCESSORIES
If your garden tractor is
equipped with a sleeve hitch you need to look at these useful
accessories. Each of these items were designed by Hayes
Enterprises for use on our own tractors. We find that we use
these accessories all the time and we think you will too.

FABRICATOR PARTS
I have had a number of customers
request hard to make parts that they can then use to make their own
attachments. I will be adding parts to this section from time
to time.
