Is that an old PennDot truck?

I finally went and bought a new trailer today! I went with a Lawrimore 83" x 20'. It's built out of 6" channel, two 5000lb brake axles, wood floor with an adjustable pintle hitch. So far I love it! The only problem is with the weight properly balanced when the BH is behind the tractor the tailwheel hangs off, but that's no biggie. My next truck will be heaver than the one I have now and I won't have to worry about the hitch weight. I'll be able to park the tractor a couple of feet forward on the trailer... I'm a very happy man!!!

Remove the pintle hitch, install a 2-5/16" coupler to use with a weight distribution hitch and you'll be able to bring the tractor futhur forward.

It had one on it but I took it off, (the 2 5/16 coupler). My last trailer had a pintle hitch, after having one I'll never go back to a ball if I can help it!

May I ask why?
Ease of connection, swivel ability on rough terrain? The looseness and banging around on the pintle hitch setups in our service and heavy duty trucks drives me nuts.

So much easier to connect, the latch flips up so you can just back up until you fill the them bump together when working solo instead of the back up look, back up look, back up look, scenario. They have heavier latch mechanisms, some latches on ball couplers are down right finger pincers and can get cumbersome to use after they get some age and rust on them. Their just easier, heavier and I trust them more.

Plus I don't want to invest in a weight distributing hitch when I plan on having a heavier truck within the year. We'll see though, the one I have now is payed for and I really don't want another payment.

Makes sense, also I agree with the hesitation of a new truck. Mine's been paid off for two years now and that extra $450 a month is nice!
