HOWBOW Zero Turn Trailer Hitch Kit for Lawn Mowers — 1/4" (6mm) Heavy‑Duty Steel, Rubber‑Covered Pin, Powder‑Coated

HOWBOW Zero Turn Trailer Hitch Kit is a heavy-duty universal tow hitch and pin set designed to let zero-turn mowers, tractors, and ATVs tow trailers and attachments safely and reliably.

This compact towing kit combines a 1/4" (6mm) thick steel hitch plate, a rubber-covered hitch pin, carriage bolts, and a rugged slotted chain opening to add hauling capability to many lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. The powder-coated finish resists corrosion while the larger chain slot and 3/4" hitch hole increase compatibility with straps, hooks and towing accessories. It’s engineered to be straightforward to mount on frames that fit the slotted bolt spacing and to withstand demanding yard and property tasks.

How strong and durable is the HOWBOW hitch?

The hitch plate uses 1/4" (6mm) heavy-duty steel and a powder-coated surface for resistance to rust and wear. Rated to manage high towing loads, the thicker steel improves longevity and reduces the risk of bending under stress.

• 1/4" (6mm) plate thickness for improved stiffness and strength
• Powder-coated finish to reduce corrosion and surface wear
• Designed to withstand routine towing loads encountered in landscaping and property work
• Rubber-covered hitch pin for protection and one-handed operation

What equipment does this hitch work with?

The HOWBOW hitch is a universal-style accessory that fits many zero-turn mowers, tractors, ATVs and golf carts. It is compatible with common residential and commercial brands that have the required mounting spacing and frame clearance.

• Fits 2"–5.1" (bolt spacing) mounting configurations for flexible installation
• Compatible with models such as Husqvarna RZ/Z200 series, Craftsman, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Exmark and Toro
• Suitable for trailers, carts, spreaders and other light towing implements
• Large 4.6" x 1.5" chain slot accepts straps, ropes, hooks and chains

How easy is it to install and use?

Installation is intended to be user-friendly: the slotted mounting holes act as chutes for straightforward alignment and the included carriage bolts make securing the hitch fast. The hitch pin features a one-piece design with a rubber cover for quick hook/unhook operation.

• Slotted mounting holes for easy bolt alignment during install
• Includes carriage bolts sized for secure, one-handed assembly

What practical towing features are built in?

Beyond its thicker steel construction, the hitch includes a larger chain slot and a versatile hitch-pin opening to expand what you can tow. Those features let you attach different fasteners and adapt the hitch to a variety of tasks without additional modifications.

• 4.6" x 1.5" chain slot for broad attachment options
• 3/4" hole fits common hitch pins and can be modified if necessary
• Powder coating protects the finish in outdoor conditions

Who this is for: The HOWBOW Zero Turn Trailer Hitch Kit is suited for homeowners, landscapers and small-property managers who want to add reliable towing capability to zero-turn mowers, small tractors or ATVs. If you need a tougher-than-stock hitch plate with a large chain slot and easy-install hardware — and your machine’s bolt spacing falls within the 2"–5.1" range — this kit is a practical, cost-effective upgrade that broadens the range of trailers and attachments you can use.
