Description

If you’ve ever struggled to keep your pickup hitch working smoothly, you know how important every small piece really is. This auto hitch rod eye plate is that crucial connecting point that keeps your hitch lift rod properly secured to the hitch mechanism. When this plate gets worn, bent, or goes missing, your whole hitch operation suffers—and that’s when simple jobs like hooking up a brush hog or tiller become a real headache.

What You’re Getting

Heavy-duty steel construction that stands up to the constant stress of lifting and lowering implements
Precision-formed eye opening that ensures smooth rod movement without binding
Direct replacement for worn or damaged original plates—no modifications needed
Works as part of the pickup hitch conversion system for reliable implement attachment

Built for Real Farm Work

This eye plate is designed to work with Massey Ferguson pickup hitch systems on 100, 200, and 500 series tractors. Whether you’re running a small utility tractor for property maintenance or working with a larger machine for serious farming, the pickup hitch gives you the flexibility to quickly attach and detach implements like tillers, brush hogs, and carry-alls without dealing with the three-point hitch every time.

Made to Last

Farm equipment takes a beating, and hitch components see some of the worst of it. This eye plate is built from quality steel that can handle the repeated stress of lifting heavy implements and the inevitable bumps that come with field work. The eye opening is sized to provide proper clearance while maintaining a secure connection that won’t wear out prematurely.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward once you access the hitch mechanism. This plate works with the complete pickup hitch conversion kit, so if you’re rebuilding your whole system, make sure you’ve got all the pieces you need. Clean the mounting area and check the lift rod for wear while you’re working—replacing both together saves you from having to tear things apart again later.
