It's a new tractor, so probably lots of fun.
Every engineer worth his salt knows the "bathtub curve" of failure probability versus time. Essentially, all devices and systems have a very high rate of failure when very new and very old, with a much lower probability of failure throughout mid-life.

My current 3033R blew a major hydro seal in its first 3 weeks of use, due to an assembly error at the factory, but has been totally trouble-free the five-plus years since. Hopefully your neighbor doesn't experience any painful examples of this, while the kids are riding high in the bucket.

I don't know that this is really hauling anything "wrong"... I took my truck in for service today and I pulled in right behind this guy.
What in the world would this be used for?

Hitch extender for a truck mounted camper. It extends the hitch beyond the back off the camper. Need to tow the boat!

Have seen a lot of extensions, none that long.

Talked to a few users, “Do you not understand the concept of a lever? How much bending moment you are applying to the receiver?” Answer, “Am not putting more weight on it than it’s rating.” In other words, they don’t understand.

Hopefully a small, short and very light one. Who in their right mind would tow anything mounted on something like that, bet it'd be fun to back up.
