Well this is how it turned out. I had to reposition the ball several times to get it right. I wanted to just use the hitch off the truck but it put the weight in the wrong spot. The tug would lift off the ground and not pull. I put it so weight was on all four wheels. The drive wheels are on a "Live" axle so it is hard to get it to turn. I put on a long wagon tongue so I could pull it around and make it turn. Works well on hard pack or pavement. My soft gravel make it hard to get it to move my 3000 pound boat with out digging to china. I'm happy but as always more work is needed.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Aw come on now. I didn't want it to be TOO flashy. I'd probably have to licence it then. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
