Was wondering if theres a 5th wheel ball mount out there thats rated for over 30,000 LBS? Im considering building a grain trayler and its lood will be over 30,000 LBS ball weight should be not that high. Dont want to build it and find out that the ball might not handle it. Thanks

If you need a gooseneck ball only, and not a fifth, try:

This one really caught my eye when searching the web two years ago, but I haven't seen one in person. The design seems ridgid and the specs are high.
I believe Tomac has one and had recently stated his satisfaction on this site, (or maybe the other).

Im looking at building a 600 bushel grain trylar to pull arround 5 miles from farm to farm halling corn and to town halling beans. i dont plan on breaking any speed records going looded but would like to come back arround 55-60 mph were halling with tractors and wagens now and want to speed it up. Im thinking on takeing a 600 bushel tandom axle dual wheel strate truck cutting the cab off and putting a neck on it. i would hook up the brakes and every thing for safty.
