Really make you wonder WTH is going through somebody mind to do something like this.... of course the last thing to go through this guys mind in a hard stop is gonna be that tractor. On a brighter note, at least it doesn't appear to be an Aluminum shank

Classic. Cheers for reading much of the site! That was like a great comedian who wraps a punchline in from 15 minutes ago.

Actually that may not be as bad as you would think. What makes a good bumper pull tow is the distance from the rear axle centerline to the hitch ball. The closer the better. The longer the more moment arm to push you around, the shorter the less control the trailer has on the tow rig. Soooooo not so bad??

Dig deeper. This topic came up in a thread many many years ago. Short version, I got hung out to dry by everyone that knows nothing about anything related to towing. I remember Birdman going nuts on that thread.......you know......with the replies that have..........lots of periods between random words........for no reason at all........

I crack myself up sometimes.
