Re: How not to use your trailer hitch.

Ha ha ha ha.......LMAO. Too funny. That guy spells better than he calculates chain length, and he aint too swift at that either. He's lucky the chain didn't snap back and kill him. Great video, thanks!

Talking Re: How not to use your trailer hitch.

Okay, that was good!! I am still laughing!! Just goes to show they should have used an RL; as well as a longer chain. Last summer I pulled up 10, thirty year old bushes doing some landscaping. I used a tow strap and ended up breaking it before I did the truck! It was actually a lot of fun!!

Re: How not to use your trailer hitch.

Just think... they may have been smart enough to get a piece of paper to operate the vehicle...

Re: How not to use your trailer hitch.

Their geometry ain't so hot either. Why did they hook the chain at the bottom of post right next to the concrete where they had the least leverage?
