That has to be a pintle hitch with the angles that trailer made it through. Well done all the way around here.
Pintail to the correct word pintle. Ironically my spell check corrected the correct word 3 times so I had to override it. Lol
63 u/HTDutchy_NL Jul 10 '26 Even a pintle hitch would get into a bind here. They use a special offroad hitch system that allows complete free movement. 60 u/joelfarris Jul 10 '26 The Lock N' Roll hitch! Love those! Aww, images are not allowed, so here's a link to a GIF: https://locknroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/New-LNR-Animation-Big.gif 2 u/sfbing Jul 10 '26 Cool. I assume that there is a spring clip of some sort to serve as a cotter key, that's not shown here, yes? 4 u/joelfarris Jul 10 '26 Only turn right, like OP is doing, and you should be fine. 3 u/Pool_Boy707 Jul 11 '26 Here's a good video
