Just finished making trailer hitch,a rough copy of an Orics,built mine a bit stronger.The originals have been known to split down tube,to give you an idea of size the bolts are 5/8in unf socket head allen bolts.The sketch is of what i am building. cheers Gary

looks like you work in the agriculture trade then. At my university we would do a far more professional job. would you like a proper design sent with some machining tips?

Gazza, going by the strength that you have build into the hitch, I look forward to watching the axle and chassis assy coming together. Your Hitch design is similar to an O'Brian Hitch I had on a off road campertrailer. An excellent piece of engineering.
Cheers Dave

I'm hoping these are friendly jabs among friends, if they turn out to be something else, someone might be taking a trip out the back door to the woodshed....
