goodlordallmighty. Just stop. Please. You are sooo full of crap you shouldn’t be allowed outside of a sewage plant.
The trailer has many miles on it, I did not make it, a trailer shop made it. I make my own truck bumpers and hitches and sometimes flat beds. Yes I can tow it with a bumper hitch...if its a bumper hitch like the ones I make that is.
I’m borrowing a buddy’s Ford F550 with a BUMPER HITCH ya know-it-all...a bumper hitch just like the ones I make myself...that is schedule 120 6” pipe for the bumper and and 7/8” plate to mount the hitch ball on...and I’m going to tow it.
Apparently there is no place in the world to rent a solid heavy duty work truck...at least none that I, nor any Freepers, seem to know of. I don’t know why you thought I was asking you to tell me I can’t do what I’ve been doing my whole life. But I guess there’s one of you in every crowd.
What I did not know when I started this thread was just how rare it is to have an extra heavy duty work truck with a sturdy low-mount hitch(AKA A BUMBER HITCH ya know-it-all). Apparently you can’t just go rent one. The closest I found was a shop that specializes in long term rentals of heavy duty work trucks to railroad employees but they have none better than a class III hitch, for some stupid reason, even though their trucks are rated for more than 20k lb towing.
So, you like to abuse equipment and use them beyond their ratings, that we could tell from your original post.
An F550 isn’t rated to pull 20+k from its bumper. Even its 5th wheel configuration is only rated to 22.7k, and that’s in a very specific configuration, and usually it can only handle no more than 16k.
I think you are confusing bumper hitches with frame mounted hitches, but even then you are way off.
Maybe you shouldn’t be making your own trailers. The highways have enough broken down disasters hurting people as it is. Have you gotten that thing inspected and registered?
