For transport, there are two legs that rotate down and sit on the ramps of the tractor. A chain is used in the rear to keep it from bouncing off (yes I have done that once). This is the best pic I could find of the Tru-Hitch in the transport position.

The Tru-Hitch fifth wheel towing device is a self-contained unit. It has two 12v hydraulic pumps and a 2 battery system. They are designed to work with virtually any military tractor (M818, M931, M915, M916A1, M920, M911, M983, M1070, etc) or any civilian tractor. There are interchangeable...
