Chris, nice photos of the towbar chain clamp connection. Just as an FYI, we learned the hard way not to use the combination pintel/ball hitch trailer hitch. There is way too much slop on the connection and you'll get a lot of "slamming" while braking as the towbar rides up within the connection. We went to a 20K# rated dedicated military style pintel hitch that bolts to the receiver hitch. No more slamming on braking and far more secure. Those combo units are a compromise between a pintel and ball hitch we've discovered. Moved ours to our tractor to move the MV stuff around the yard. Works well for that. Have a nice weekend brother.
like one of these?
