The present disclosure is directed towards a hitch assembly 106 for an articulated machine (Fig.1, 100). The articulated machine includes a first frame (Fig. 1, 102) and a second frame (Fig.1, 104). The hitch assembly is configured for enabling articulation between the first and second frames and comprises a connector 138 and an intermediate portion (Fig.2, 116). The connector is configured for coupling to the second frame, defines a cavity (Fig.2, 144) and comprises at least one connector stop 146 located within the cavity (144). The intermediate portion is configured to be rotatably mounted to the first frame and comprises a shaft 120 for locating within the cavity. The shaft comprises at least one intermediate portion stop 134, 136. The at least one connector stop and at least one intermediate portion stop are configured to cooperate so as to limit, about a first axis X-X' (Fig.2), a relative rotation of the connector and the intermediate portion.
