  Trailer comes off at 75mph

I had a class 3 hitch break off & snap all the bolt's mounting it to the frame of the truck. Luckily I was traveling on back roads doing 25 mph. Nothing was majorly damaged other then the hitch itself. The hitch did alot of damage to the asphalt on the road though as it dug in as it was sliding to a stop. The worst part was I has no way to get the trailer home which had my John Deere 790 on it at the time. It was an awkward situation because I had no cell service, I was alone & I had no way to rehitch up so I was forced leaving the tractor there on the side of the road while I drove down the road a few miles to an area that had cell service. I was praying that no theif's come by while i was gone!

Interesting! Now a days I have a reciever hitch mounted on the top of my bucket loader & I am able to slide in whatever I want to use that day - sometimes I use the pintle or other times I use a drop down with a 2 inch ball to move the log splitter with. It's uses are unlimited! Thanks for sharing the interesting story about the guy that towed his truck with his BH! Smile

Who in the right mind as a newby member of this site would ask this to a member who has been on here since the site began?

Murf - Good Point & well said Murf!

Paul - I think the way you represented yourself was little rough. Perhaps you could have worded it : I would be a little cautious & hesitant towing a homemade trailer at 75 mph depending on how it was built.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul, except now Peter is broke, and Paul is leaving because they can't afford to pay him anymore.


Hahaha Murf....so true! Smile
