MAN..you could go into business making them things..looks bulletproof.

[gazzas_landy]

jeez that machining looks rough and the welding wouldnt pass any weld tests

[gazzas_landy]

May be I should make another one . Forty years of engineering must not have taught me anything . 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?

regards charles

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....
