Duramax7man7 505 #1 Posted December 17, 2016 Hey Gang, Just figure that I'd show some shots of my hitch fresh out of the box and installed and in use... I'm not using this thing for much other than a ballast weight setup of 100lbs but it's PERFECT for it! So worth the money with a well built attachment. Will have many uses in the feature! Thanks Fellas! 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Fellas! Very nice. How much weight do think the hitch could handle? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlenPettit 1,714 #6 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Craig: I'm easily moving around a 3,000# trailer on a reasonably level gravel drive, backing up and turning it (with lug tires and a weighted front), I'm sure the tongue weight is 5-600# but then a little bounce will make that well over 1,000# -- and this receiver system has absolutely no problem handling it. I have had two of these hitches for last 3-years and they are great, highly recommend them. Especially like the extended hitch distance when towing a cart, much easier to turn (but it can be a shin nicker, from experience). Note: With weight behind the axle, it will lighten the front some and reduce steering, especially in snow, must have extra weight up front too. Glen That's a 7/8" tractor hitch pin with d-rings holding the receiver to the tranny (TSC - $10, not supposed to freeze/rust in place) and the hitch was for ATV's, with 3 uses.

I assumed the hitch could handle it no problem. I was more worried about the rear axle and where it attaches to the transmission tunnel since it probably gets a lot of torque put on it. Thanks again.

Duramax7man7 505 #8 Posted August 22, 2017 I"m sure the hitch can handle hundred's of pounds easily! The Axle will break long before the hitch will. that's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackhood Bill 720 #9 Posted September 27, 2018 Where did you get this from. I also wonder if they make it where it can move up and down with hydraulic lift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I could draw you up something to be made to use with it. Edited September 27, 2018 by WVHillbilly520H 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
