It’s the little things that make it easier for you! Great job! I just bought a 6x12 galvanized dump trailer and I’ve started doing some additional improvements like you are doing.
It's a great hitch when dealing with these midsized trucks that are sensitive to hitch weight. Best looking hitch made. Thanks for making great products. Thanks for watching.
Another great video Ed. You have more patience than I would drilling every hole out and putting in all those bolts in the track. An added bonus of the round foot pad of those rear jack supports is they will keep the back of the actual trailer from dragging if you hit a rut or go over a hump. I could not tell how they relate to the plane of the back end of the trailer, but you might want to shorten them a little so they are 1/2 to 1" below that plane (looked to be more than that to me but could be a camera angle thing). Either way, great job.
They are marginal but so close to the back wheels that it probably would take a curb to clip them. I definitely will shorten them if it looks like an issue. Getting the 2 washers on the bottom with the extrusion lips in the way made it take longer than I expected. Thanks for watching.
👋 URHC , nice job, it looks like you are on the Right Track, 😂 . I hope you were on your best baver as the Boss is watching you making sure you are doing it right, 😂. I hope you put all of the heads of the bolts facing forward to , I love the hitch so it can be adjusted, 👍. Keep up the great work and stay safe, Phil from the moulin France
Thanks. It is a serious problem that may affect many of them. At least now Kubota has accepted a warranty claim to get started with diagnostics. Thanks for watching.
Thanks. It stinks and may be something affecting more then just mine. Kubota said I have to run it for 20 minutes minimum each time I start it and not shut it off for a short period to evaporate the fuel out but I told them that should be in the sales literature. Mine gained 12 oz of fuel in the oil by the 20 hour service with the oil loaded with white gunk. I think the engine is toast and they say its normal. Probably going to dump it for a Polaris Ranger once I get it back if they don't fix it right. Thanks for watching.
That sounds more like a Rube Goldberg excuse for a flaw in the design or manufacturing process. An engine should be able to start and shutoff without that happening regardless of the time running... (just my $.25 worth ((inflation)).@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 T
I just ordered a Sport Haven trailer and I got the deluxe version and they told me that it comes with stabilizers. Did you look into getting them from Sport Haven so you wouldn't have to make any modifications to them? It should just be something that should that can just be installed as is
You have to order them with the trailer to get the welded on option. These work good and it is only a light duty trailer that has no strong beams to support bigger machinery then I have so they will last. I probably would have spent the extra for the Aluma trailer if I needed the stabilizers for heavier loads and better tiedowns. Those little D rings on this are a joke for anything over 3k pounds. Thanks for watching.

They all definitely need some additions to fit the needs of the buyer. Thanks for watching.
A job worth doing is a job worth doing right.
Helps make life easier in the future. Thanks for watching.
We are stoked to see you put that Aero Hitch to work! 💪 Awesome video!

A quality job as usual. 😊
Thanks. I try to do it right the first time. Thanks for watching.

I put her to work but didn’t mention how many there were to torque so she was a little overwhelmed at first. Thanks for watching.
Very nice setup perfect for your application enjoyed the video thanks !
Thanks. A lot more useful to us then the dump trailer it replaced. Thanks for watching.
Sorry Gizmo is sick. Hope they get it sorted for you.
This isn't a RUclips channel, this is a multidisciplinary Master Class.

As usual a job well done! It looks great. Hope you get Gizmo fixed and back soon. God Bless! Chuck Henry.
Thanks. I am hoping there is a fix. Kubota finally accepted a warranty claim to get started. Thanks for watching.
You might want to add a roller idler on the strap
That's always an option. Haven't needed them yet. Thanks for watching.
More great stuff..... Sorry you're having issues with GIzmo fuel in the oil. Take care
