anyone use this hitch?

[jnelson]

Friend of mine found this hitch in an issue of western horseman. If anybody has tried this hitch I like to know how they like it. The price is right and it looks like a great idea.

That looks like a good idea and fine product. The only concern I would have is when a person puts dirt, rock, hay, mud or anything like that will it get down around the shank of the ball and cause it to jam. I can't imagine it would be easy to unjam that ball if a piece of gravel wedged itself in there.

I haven't used one but have seen posts on here to back up what you are saying. I personally have the B&W.

B&W makes a shock absorbing 4" replacement reciever for a gooseneck? Because thats what I'm talking about. What are yall talking about?

Before you buy check this hitch out. Easy installation, Easy to use, and works great. The nylon plug keeps your threads clean and protected when you are not using the hitch and leaves the bed open with no bed rails or obstructions.

jnelson, my apologies, I thought you meant the pop up ball itself, not the shock absorbing receiver. I guess it would pay for me to look before I stuff my foot in my mouth.

I have a reverse king pin in all my trucks that is a retracting king pin. If we do not use after 6- months or so it will rust into place. So we lube with a little bit of grease. Dirt/rocks will jam them but you can go below and give it a good whack with a hammer and it releases.

I too thought you were talking about the popup ball...
