[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1518953, member: 24583"] More than likely it was a combination of several factors. 1) tongue weight could have exceeded hitch rating. 2) may have been a cheap hitch 3) and most likely is that those adapters that adapt a 2” hitch to a 2.5” or 3” receiver have play in them which allows the hitch to bounce up and down too much. Adds extra stress. Combine several small failures and you could have a big failure. Good safety chains on that trailer though. [/QUOTE]
