Heeler Practice: Heel-O-Matic Hitch Hopper
Heel-O-Matic’s newest offering, The HITCH HOPPER, turns any parking
lot, garage or driveway into a practice facility. It provides heelers
with a convenient, portable training machine at an affordable price.
“Headers have their Bones heading dummies for warm up. It’s great that
there’s finally something out there for heelers to use before a
competition,” states World Champion Mike Beers.
The HITCH HOPPER moves with the patented “Heel-O-Matic Hop.” It
connects to any standard receiver hitch and plugs in to run on your
vehicle’s battery power, providing hours of stationary heeling practice
or a thorough warm-up before competing.
“The HITCH HOPPER is essentially the back half of our Heel-O-Matic
PRO machine,” states Chip Bruegman, Heel-O-Matic General Manager, “but
you attach it to your vehicle’s receiver hitch and connect it to the
trailer plug for power, just like you would a trailer. You can use that
vehicle to pull the HOPPER if you’re looking for moving practice. For
stationary practice at your barn, garage, shop or arena, you can power
the HOPPER by simply connecting to an auxiliary battery.”
The HITCH HOPPER features Heel-O-Matic’s new control box with
on-board computer chip technology for reliable, problem-free practice.
The Hop Control dial offers five different hop speeds to meet all of
your practice needs.
