[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 22790, member: 897"] Shane, nice build. My brother has made a few like that. They are way stronger that the ball mount. He has bent the 3/4 plate the ball mounts to trying to pick up frozen down trailers. I guess my minimalist design is somewhere between the solutions above. Just hang it on either side of the Bobtach and latch the pin. 1 piece of channel, 2 pieces of flat stock and an $10 receiver tube from the local discount tool place.
