One thing that has not been mentioned, as such. If you only have a half ton and want to pull an H/SH, etc, the weight of the gooseneck combined with the tractor weight will likely put you over the max combined pickup/trailer weight. I recently pulled a 350 row crop on my 7000 lb GVW bumper pull with my 2005 half ton GMC pickup. A gooseneck would have put me over the combined weight limit. If you have a 3/4 ton HD pickup, then use a gooseneck, you can pull a lot more weight and still be within legal limits. I wouldn't know about the "better" pulling of a gooseneck. My bumper pull with the proper weight and weight equalizer arms gives no trouble to the point that I can almost forget I am pulling something, which can be dangerous. With the equalizer the pickup is almost level.
