With tractor weights costing $1.00 a pound.... I needed a Cheaper way to added 500-600 lbs... This weighed in at 520 lbs including the mount and weights... It almost takes 2 people to load the weights though…. It is possible with one person. I can’t see any reason why they would not let me use this set up. Everything is very secure and doesn’t move at all, and cost very little...

I also finaly got my hitch set up done...http://sanjuanrockcrawlers.com/upload/tmp/post-12-1122687115.jpg

Make sure that gusset is really welded good, multiple passes wouldn't hurt.

Seen them fail and it will bend/break.

There a LOT of force on it.

I did do multiple passes on them. I used two gussets side by side to try to help out some. The main problem it I wanted it as close to the bumper as possable. I Gained about 6" off the hitch I was using. its right at 25" to give me room when I crank down the bars and lower the air pressure. I could have used a longer reciver and had biger gussets but it would have suck out farther. We will have to see how it dose in Turlock Saturday night:D
