I am going to buy a weight bracket hitch combo to use as ballast for my FEL but am trying to decide on which hitch. Both seem to have advantages and disadvantage. I know I could go with a box for much less money but I like the flexibility of the suitcase weights and a few of the attachments each hitch offers.
Omni Transformer - $210 base price plus shipping
TRANSFORMER Platform with Integrated Weight Rack - OMNI Mfg LLC
Likes - integrated bottom horizontal draw, comes with top vertical receiver, bolt on accessories (which is also a dislike)
Dislikes - bolt on receiver hitch (which is also a like), no option for 70lb weights
Heavy Hitch -$219 base price plus shipping
https://heavyhitch.com/store/category-1-hitch/category-1-hitch-and-bracket-for-suitcase-weights/
Likes - is a sponsor here, square tubing instead of angle iron, built in reciever hitch, 70lb weight option ($30)
Dislikes - no horizontal draw bar, extra cost to use 70lb weights, extra cost to have verticle reciever ($80 but does make it a super hitch with heavier metal)
To get a heavy hitch like I want would be $299 plus another $30 if I decided I want the option to use 70lb weights. The omni transformer is $240 once I buy a bolt on reciever.
Any thoughts or concerns on either hitch?
I want to make a purchase today. Thanks!
