the weld won't break, but the tubing will.

I agree with TJ, but I also will add that I would get a solid 2" piece not that tubing. I have ripped a few hitches just pulling trailers or grain carts at home, now all of them have been reinforced so that I stop breaking them.

Held up fine today.... I don't see the channel bending, it's 3/16 or 1/4 steel... I can see it failing where y'all said before the brace... That brace slides over the 2" tube and is welded everwhere it touches. I think it is Gonna be fine. Like I said... Held very good today.

well... yep... I was last :D

I figure i would sell my body to make the money but then changed my mind when Steph brought it to my attention that I would probably have to pay people. So we scratched that Idea...
