This is my first tri-axle trailer and so far I'm not impressed. It's a 26ft flatbed dovetail, 16k GVW with pintel hitch.
The tri-axle with a pintel hitch will apply reverse torque to the hitch on uneven ground. I'm not talking about ruff terrain but a rolling mogul hill type road.
How much reverse torque? I was using a 1/4" chain over the pintel eye and hitch ball to move the trailer with a 3000lb load on the trailer tongue. It snapped that 1/4" chain. A typical new 1/4" chain has a 2600lb breaking strength depending on the chain grade. Of course this resulted in my first bumper ding. LOL
A trailer with GN or 5th hitching may not have this problem.
My tri-axle is forsale and I sure won't buy another one.
