Tow hitches could even be connecting to a tow-bar to a set of main gears or the nose of an aircraft. There are various types of hitches. They can be in the form of a tow pin and jaw with a trailer loop. This design is normally used for agricultural applications with big vehicles where slack in the pivot pin allows swiveling and articulation. It can even take the form of a tow-ball to be able to enable the same movements of a trailer. The towing pintle is one more category of hitches that is used on military vehicles worldwide.
