Why Flexpoint?

 
The Flexpoint's patented design incorporates the STRENGTH and STABILITY of a TRIANGLE

Under a heavy load, a square distorts easily. It ends up looking like a parallelogram. In a square or rectangle each corner angle does not brace any of the other sides, and the sides can continue to move with respect to each other as shown. Thus, the square is not a stable structure.

The triangle is the only shape that cannot be deformed without changing the length of one of its sides. Because it's not easily deformed, the triangle is an extremely popular building shape. It is used in the construction of bridges, railway trestles, towers, geodesic domes, and skyscrapers.


The Flexpoint is a departure from the horizontal draw bar,
which is functionally inadequate,
and was the motivation for the design
of the Flexpoint Tractor Hitch System.


Improvement over Drawbar
The traditional fixed draw bar under the belly of the tractor is difficult to hook up to and hazardous to the operator. Both the fixed and the horizontal draw bar are hazardous from a safety point of view, contributing to back injuries, pinched fingers, and other types of injuries.

Safer Easier Hookups Using Tractor Hydraulics
The Flexpoint® Hitch System eliminates the possibility of injury by moving the hookup point further away from the tractor and allowing the operator to use the tractor hydraulics on the 3-point mechanism to align the tractor to the implement from the tractor seat.

Designed to use with Pickup Inserts
Further, the 2" square tube receiver technology allows the operator to insert the various types of connecting mechanisms, balls, pins, pintle hooks, et. prior to the actual step of connecting to the implement.

Accepts Implement Inserts
The 2" square tube receiver also lends itself to adapting many different inserts for practical use around the farm and ranch limited only by one's imagination.

Moves Point of Connection Back
Other functional benefits to be realized by using Flexpoint® are that it moves the connection point back from the tractor, allowing the operator to alley dock trailers or back into very confining spaces.

Flexpoint® can also be mounted in the bucket of a loader.
The functionality and versatility of this product is virtually unlimited and increases the usefulness of the tractor, allowing the operator to single-handedly accomplish many tasks safely and easily.
