HD Switch Bolt on Tow Hitch Replaces 79014 Kit for Toro Timecutter, Titan, SS3200 SS4200 SS4235 SS4260 SS5000 SS5060 - ZX5020 ZX4820 ZX5420 ZX6020 - MX4880 MX5480 MX6080 & Many More

What It Is

This is a heavy-duty bolt-on tow hitch kit (replaces OEM Toro part 79014) designed to attach a trailer or cart to select Toro zero-turn mowers, including Timecutter, Titan, and commercial SS, ZX, and MX series models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model and deck size. This kit fits Toro Timecutter models (e.g., SS3200, SS4200, SS4235, SS4260, SS5000, SS5060), Titan models (e.g., ZX5020, ZX4820, ZX5420, ZX6020), and MX series (MX4880, MX5480, MX6080). It also works with many other Toro zero-turns with compatible frame mounting holes. Check your mower’s frame width and bolt pattern—the hitch mounts to the rear frame crossbar using existing or provided bolts. Measure the distance between the two rear frame holes (typically 2.5–3 inches apart) and ensure your deck size (42–60 inches) matches the listed models. If your mower has a factory receiver hitch, this kit may not be needed.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Made from heavy-gauge steel with a black powder coat finish; rated for light to medium towing (e.g., lawn carts, spreaders, not heavy trailers).
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires basic hand tools (wrenches, socket set) and about 20–30 minutes. May need to remove the mower’s rear bumper or deflector.
• Common gotcha: Some models require drilling the frame if bolt holes don’t align. Check for pre-drilled holes first; if missing, you’ll need a drill and metal bit.
• Compatibility note: Not for older Toro models or non-zero-turn mowers. Always cross-reference your model number with the included fitment list or Toro’s 79014 specs.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible Toro zero-turn mower (Timecutter, Titan, or SS/ZX/MX series) and need a sturdy, affordable hitch for pulling a lawn cart or spreader. It’s a solid aftermarket alternative to OEM parts, with good reviews and easy installation for most users. Skip it if your mower already has a hitch or if you need to tow heavy loads.
