Wondering if that's not photoshop.

It was since they had many more pallets on there...pallets they found in a field.

Definitely hauling something wrong:

Found this, too. Hay trailer burning.

See it: Truck towing flaming trailer speeds through town

A driver in Thailand was spotted speeding through a busy city towing a flaming trailer with his pickup truck. The man said he was trying to get to safety.

I must live a sheltered life. I rented a Barreto stump grinder (with trailer) from Home Depot today. The 2" ball hitch attachment was as shown in this picture, not the historical flippy latch. It attached really easy, no jumping on the bumper to seat/unseat it. Any comments on the advantages/disadvantages?

I have had a similar hitch on one trailer for 15 years. Love it. Been meaning to put one on the other trailer. Just keep 'em lubed and they are great. Very secure

My grandfather didn't do anything halfway, and he the Bulldog, linked by another poster, on a trailer he build back when JFK was president.

My thought? When you are Home Depot any rental wants to be as heavy as possible, because if it can be broken; somebody will do just that.

Cost is the only disadvantage that I know of.
Otherwise those are great.

Use to a brand Called bulldog that looks and works similar. Other than pice there are no disadvantages.

Imo bulldog couplers should be on any hitch ball combo where you can't physically lift the trailer tongue. Never had a problem hitching that coupler to a ball.
