The McHitch is an excellent alternative. Easy to connect and disconnect, no lifting needed. In a bad angle situation, its easy to disconnect as you just need to remove a pin , lift a saftey lock and drive away.. (Disconnect chains and electrics and lower jockey wheel of course)

It would have been good to see the pin being inserted, rather than talk about something that few people are familiar with.

Well you did get two things wrong. A ball coupling is not rigid, it has a limited range of motion. Also if that trailer rolls on its side it will lift the rear wheels of the tow vehicle off the ground. You stated that all four wheels will stay on the ground.

So whats the height off the do35 hitch on your off road vans?
@buticks
@buticks 11 месяцев назад
DO35 is our prefered of the two. The ride in the car is smoother with no play at the hitch

Do you know of any tow ball scales that can be bought and will work with the DO35?
@theboarhunter
@theboarhunter Год назад
Just use a standard scale suited for ball coupling,instead place it under the chasis as close as possible to the coupling

That 50mm coupler looks easy to use and well made. Where can I find one in the US?

You could check ebay.com.au just make sure it meets the U.S standard for towing.

U can get 50mm couplings that do rotate they been around for years why don't you show them and a ball is thicker than a little clip that goes over that thin pin 🤔

I totally agree with you .I use my 50mm swivel ball coupling had it for years lol last year in Cape York I sold like 30 odd of them had have them flown in couldn't keep up why .because the pin coupling that he so trys to promote couldn't hand the corrugations an force an were smashing the uni joints ie.pivet points an top's of there pins .big fail .

@@outbacknomad9939 that's interesting mabe if made twice the size would be stronger .I've got an 80mm ball for my 6/4 trailer it's strong as and iff someone steals it won't get far will pop off their 50mm ball 🤣

@@haroldtatow852 :) thats the plan, the alternative was another hitch however thats another $500 I think, as we need to use the factory hitch for compliance and warranty. the car even states in the book not to use WDH on it may damage the car.. rather keep in spec than do damage.

Do either of these have an over run braking system in Australia?

50mm do, but only if under 2000kg. Above that is electric brakes

Can you use level riders with the DO35
@adelaiderv
@adelaiderv Год назад
I assume you are referring to weight distribution bars? Yes, you can use them with a DO35 hitch, there are a couple of rules that apply to different vehicles that need to be observed though. One of these is the use of the distributions bars while on corrugations or off road - is not recommended.

if you want to tow someone else’s van you just swap hitches, pull the pin and slide it out

Why do some couplings have nuts up, and others have nuts down?
@adelaiderv
@adelaiderv 11 месяцев назад
Normally the only difference is the access to tighten them.

Simple - a fully articulating hitch/coupler can save you from having a bent frame on modest trails
