One of the worst towing mistakes I ever saw, occured just three years ago near my house at a Union Pacific railroad crossing. A pickup was towing a trailer down the road with no safety chains, and at the railroad tracks which was quite uneven and bumpy, the trailer popped out of the hitch, broke the safety brake cable and came to a stop on the tracks. His tow hitch was 2 1/2" and the trailer had a 2" ball, which actually worked until he hit the rough road. We pushed his trailer off the tracks and drove to Tractor Supply for the proper 2.5" hitch ball.

Never seen that size ball.

Is this post to get the towing thread back on track?

That house can just stay where it is. Wasn’t Frank Loyd Wright big on that kind of thing, using nature.

Does this count for hauling wrong? View attachment 699239
Maybe it's me but that looks shopped. There's two piles of material on the ground but the exact same color, the rear wheels don't show much if any load where they are in contact with the ground, the shadow looks odd. Not sure.
