Well then i will tell you about pintle hooks . And old friend of mine who had a small excavating co , nothing big mind you a 580 case hoe and a case 450 dozer one dump truck and one trailer . Trailer was a tri axle pintle hitch One nice sunny day he was on his way to pick up the dozer and as he crossed a bridge that was a little rough when the EMPTY trailer hit the bump the Pintle snapped OFF the truck and the saftey chains snapped and the trailer went left of center and hit and oncoming pickup and killed the driver , the driver of that pick up was one of my friend FRIEND . He was never the same after that and about two year later he put a gun to his head and ended his suffering . So it does not matter what kind of hitch ya have they can fail .
