DESCRIPTION

The Schnell Industries Planter Conversion Hitch (PCH-CIH) is a premium heavy-duty agricultural solution engineered to adapt modern high-capacity planters for improved field performance and compatibility with larger tractors. Designed specifically for Case IH 1200 series planters, this patented hitch converts a traditional 2-point mount system into a robust drawbar hitch configuration, delivering enhanced stability, maneuverability, and operational efficiency in demanding planting conditions.

Built from ¾-inch thick structural steel, this hitch ensures maximum durability under extreme field loads while maintaining excellent ground clearance for uneven terrain. With compatibility for tractors ranging from 150 to 350+ horsepower, it bridges the gap created by today’s larger planter systems. No welding or permanent modification is required, making installation straightforward and reversible.

Ideal for modern precision farming operations, the Schnell Planter Conversion Hitch improves towing efficiency while maintaining equipment integrity, making it a reliable upgrade for professional agricultural performance.

Key Features
