At this time I am having a new trailer made for me. It is bumper pull with two #5000 lb. axles. I have always used 2" trailer ball on my receiver hitch but this new one requires a 2 5/16" ball. This got me looking at the ratings on some of this stuff. Most of the slide in receivers I found are rated from 6000# to 7000# lb.s with 600# lb.s tonque wieght. This made me go out and look at the hitch up under the truck. It says 5000# lb.s hitch weight or 8000# with load leveling hitch. Ok here comes the question, the weight of a Farmall H plus the weight of the trailer is pushing up pretty close to that 6000# lb.s mark. Have I got way to little hitch on my 1/2 ton 4X4 truck or I guess another way to put my question is this. Dose 6000# lb.s dead weight translate to 6000# lb.s of draw weight. Or for that matter stopping weight. All opinions welcomed.
