Expand Zero-Turn Utility & Tow Attachments with Confidence: Genuine Gravely Hitch Kit
Eliminate flimsy universal brackets, bent hitch plates, frame-drilling headaches, and trailer towing limits on your commercial or heavy-duty residential zero-turn. This Genuine Gravely / Ariens Factory OEM Rear Hitch Kit (Part Number 79202300) is the authentic heavy-gauge steel towing attachment engineered explicitly for Gravely ZT HD (Zero-Turn Heavy Duty) and Ariens Apex commercial/residential zero-turn mowers equipped with 44", 48", 52", and 60" cutting decks . Towing aerators, carts, and turf rollers with an uncertified or off-brand bracket risks bending your mower's rear frame or damaging rear bumper shrouds.
Manufactured directly by Ariens/Gravely in Brillion, Wisconsin, this commercial-grade hitch kit is laser-cut and welded from heavy-duty formed plate steel to distribute towing forces and tongue weights evenly across the machine's structural frame. It comes coated in an industrial-grade, corrosion-resistant black powder coat that resists chipping, rust, fertilizer corrosion, and outdoor weathering. Featuring standard pre-drilled hitch-pin geometry, it accepts standard 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch clevis hitch pins for immediate hookup to lawn carts, plug aerators, tow-behind spreaders, dethatchers, and drag mats. The kit arrives complete with factory-specified high-tensile mounting hardware and installs directly into pre-existing frame holes—requiring zero drilling or deck modification .
This authentic factory accessory is cataloged under Gravely / Ariens OEM Part Number 79202300 (Kit, Hitch / Rear Tow Hitch Kit / ZT-HD Trailer Hitch / Apex Hitch Attachment) .

100% No-Drill Bolt-On Installation: Aligns with pre-existing factory frame holes; installs in minutes using the included OEM-grade mounting hardware.
Heavy-Gauge Formed Plate Steel: Resists bending, twisting, and weld cracking under heavy dynamic pulling loads and tongue weight.

Standard Tow-Behind Pin Hole: Sized to accept standard tow-behind clevis pins for quick-disconnect attachment of aerators, spreaders, and carts.

🛠️ Pro-Maintenance Tip: Watch the "Tongue Weight Balance & Hydro Duty Secret!" Tongue Weight Balance Secret: While the 79202300 hitch plate is built from heavy-duty steel, always respect your mower manufacturer’s maximum recommended towing limits (typically 50 lbs maximum tongue weight and 300–400 lbs total gross towed weight , depending on slope and model specs in your owner's manual). Overloading a tow cart places heavy vertical downforce behind the rear drive wheels, which can cause the front caster wheels to lift off the turf—dramatically reducing steering control and stability. Hydro Duty Secret: When towing heavy attachments like core aerators or water-filled lawn rollers, keep your hydrostatic drive levers smooth and avoid sudden, jerky directional transitions. Controlled pulling speeds prevent oil overheating inside your Hydro-Gear transaxles, extending the working life of your hydrostatic drive system.
