Now I am curious about the hitch even though I don't need one. Can anyone
scan a picture of it and how it is attached?
  
 
Picture?  http://www.geocities.com/electraktractors/p2.html  see P4.  Not a great view.  
 
Bill told me how to use it (below) and that there are 3 versions of even this!
 
The roller is for fold-back of the lift strap with heavy implements, like the disc.  The hitch bolts and floats on the back 2 bolts (left side lin picture), with the implement riding on narrower end.  For implements requiring close left-right positioning, and floating draft-angle, such as the plow, the implement attaches to the two bolts just inside of the narrow end (and the long pin?) while with a implement like my cultivator, it attaches to the bolts only and the pin.  Again, the pin and roller with fold-back of the lift strap are from the electric (or Manuel) lift to pick up the implement.  The normal drawbar does indeed get involved for attachment.  Most of this is by talking to Bill; I have yet to see a manual showing proper attachment.
