Description
HLA Attachments TH2BO500 2-Inch Receiver Skid-Steer and Tractor Adapter is a loader-mounted trailer hitch designed for moving light trailers around the yard. This configuration combines HLA’s TH2 hitch attachment with the BO500 universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier, allowing it to be used on compatible skid-steer loaders and tractor loaders. A 2-inch receiver accommodates receiver-mounted hitch equipment, while the ball-hitch mounting location on top of the frame provides a provision for moving gooseneck trailers. With a maximum gross trailer weight of 9,000 lb and a maximum tongue weight of 800 lb, it provides a practical trailer-handling solution for farms, equipment yards, shops, and other off-road work areas.
Practical Loader-Mounted Trailer Handling
Attaching a trailer hitch to a loader makes it possible to reposition compatible trailers while maintaining a clear forward view of the hitch area. The TH2BO500 is intended for light trailer-moving duties around the yard and connects to equipment through a universal skid-steer quick-attach interface.
The central 2-inch receiver provides a familiar connection point for compatible receiver-mounted hitch components. For applications involving gooseneck trailers, the frame also includes a top-mounted ball-hitch location. This combination supports multiple trailer-moving applications without changing the attachment itself.

TH2 Hitch with BO500 Carrier
The model designation identifies both major parts of this attachment configuration. TH2 is HLA’s base trailer-hitch attachment model, while BO500 identifies the universal skid-steer mounting configuration. Together, these components form the TH2BO500 assembly represented by catalogue product code LA-TH2BO500.
Compatibility
This attachment is configured for a universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier. It is suitable for skid-steer loaders with universal skid-steer quick attach and for tractor loaders that have been equipped with the same universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier interface.
Before use, confirm that the loader’s carrier interface matches the BO500 universal skid-steer configuration and that the intended trailer and hitch arrangement remain within the attachment’s published gross trailer and tongue-weight limits.
