A ball hitch includes a base flange, a coupler ball, and a stem portion connected between the coupler ball and the base flange. A lubricant inlet is mounted in the base flange within a recessed indentation. A lubricant outlet in the coupler ball is positioned at a lateral side opposite the lubricant inlet. A lubricant channel extending between the lubricant inlet and the lubricant outlet is canted at an angle through the ball hitch. The ball hitch provides an improvement for lubricant coating of the coupler ball, protection of the lubricant inlet, among other features disclosed herein.
