At 2,500 pounds (1.1 t), the 9N could plow more than 12 acres (4.9 hectares) in a normal day pulling two 14-inch (360 mm) plows, [3] outperforming the tractive performance of the heavier and more expensive Farmall F-30 model. [3] The hitch's utility and simplicity have since made it an industry standard.
There are many variations in the design of quick couplers. The initial divergence is between those that can pick up any of a range of buckets and attachments by clamping onto the mounting pins for the attachment (known as "pin grabbers" or "pin couplers") and those that work only with buckets and attachments designed to suit that quick coupler (known as "dedicated").
Diagram showing the (theoretical) 3:1 mechanical advantage of the Trucker's Hitch. In tightening the trucker's hitch, tension can be effectively increased by repeatedly pulling sideways while preventing the tail end from slipping through the loop, and then cinching the knot tighter as the sideways force is released. This is called "sweating a ...
[2] [3] Some aquariums use magnetic drive pumps, which have a magnetic coupling between the motor on the dry side of an aquarium wall and the propeller or impeller in the water on the other side of the wall. [4] This coupling features two face-to-face magnetized disks: the driving magnet on the dry side, and the driven magnet on the underwater ...
The drawbar should not be confused with the fifth wheel coupling. The drawbar requires a trailer which either loads the drawbar lightly (for example a small boat trailer , or caravan , or the load is the weight of the coupling components only (larger trailers, usually but not always with a steerable hauled axle, front or rear).

Inductrack is a passive, fail-safe electrodynamic magnetic levitation system, using only unpowered loops of wire in the track and permanent magnets (arranged into Halbach arrays) on the vehicle to achieve magnetic levitation. The track can be in one of two configurations, a "ladder track" and a "laminated track".
A tow hitch (or tow bar or trailer hitch in North America [1]) is a device attached to the chassis of a vehicle for towing, or a towbar to an aircraft nose gear. It can take the form of a tow ball to allow swiveling and articulation of a trailer , or a tow pin, or a tow hook with a trailer loop, often used for large or agricultural vehicles ...
