At Techniek Totaal, we offer a wide range of K80 balls for both guide couplings and flange couplings. These balls are essential for the safe and efficient coupling of tractors, agricultural machines, and other heavy vehicles. In this text, we discuss the different types of K80 balls, what to consider when purchasing, and the benefits they offer.
Guide couplings are ideal for use with a guide frame, also known as a drawbar slide. This frame features rails on both sides, allowing the K80 ball to be easily slid into place. The coupling can be securely locked with two locking pins on the sides. There are two types of locking mechanisms available: automatic and manual. While the automatic locking mechanism is slightly more expensive, it is the most popular choice due to its ease of use.
When purchasing a K80 guide coupling, consider the following factors:
K80 balls with flange couplings provide a stable and fixed connection by securing the ball with four robust 10.9 hex bolts to your machine or vehicle frame. Flange couplings are often used on vehicles where height adjustment is not required, as they are always mounted at a fixed height.
When purchasing a flange coupling, consider the following:
K80 balls are designed for heavy-duty applications and offer high levels of safety and reliability. Whether you choose a guide coupling or a flange coupling, both systems ensure a stable connection between your vehicle and trailer. K80 balls are compatible with various brands such as John Deere, Fendt, and New Holland, and can be used in agriculture, construction, and the transport sector.
A guide coupling offers flexibility in adjusting the height of the coupling, whereas a flange coupling is always mounted at a fixed height. Both have their own advantages depending on the specific application.
It is important to check the dimensions of your drawbar frame, such as the rail width and guide width, to ensure the ball fits properly. For the best compatibility, we recommend choosing a ball of the same brand as your drawbar frame.
K80 balls are suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including tractors, agricultural machines, trucks, and construction machines. Always check your vehicle’s specifications to ensure compatibility.
Automatic locking balls are more expensive due to the added convenience and safety they provide. They are quicker and easier to secure, saving time and effort when coupling vehicles.
