110,000lbs/22logs - 5,000lbs/log (average) whats wrong with pulling that with a class lll hitch and ball?
Do you not understand how easily that chain can slip off the ball... pulling with the ball like that is complete stupidity, there is absolutely no security for the thing... at least a clevis is closed, and the only way for the chain to come out of it is if it breaks.
Balls them self are not rated for a whole lot. Coulda just sheared off....
Ah, I apologize then. The ball may have been rated for the load, but the constant slamming of the chain against the ball probably wasn't helping it at all...Ill agree with that, it wasn't the best setup for hauling logs but I was responding top this...
