3-Pt. Hitch Accessory For Backing Up 5th Wheel Trailer

3-Pt. Hitch Accessory For Backing Up 5th Wheel Trailer HITCHES Hitches 24-5-34 I had this 3-pt. hitch accessory made by a local welding shop to solve the problem of backing up my 5th wheel trailer into a storage shed. This makes it much easier to maneuver. The base is made up of a piece of 3-in. sq. steel about 30 in. wide with 3-pt. hitch pins attached. A 4 1/2-in. pipe is welded in the center to accept the king pin on the trailer. To make it more versatile, I added a hitch to the bottom center which can be used to pull a piece of equipment with a clevis hitch or you can mount a ball hitch on it. I made it open on top to pull my trailer with a king pin but you could bolt a plate to the top with a ball for gooseneck trailers. This hitch works especially great for moving trailers around through mud and snow. (William Turnbull, Box 758, Grassy Lake, Alberta Canada T0K 0Z0)
