Thanks guys, glad you like it. Surprised though; not a single naysayer. We'll see what we can do about that.....heh heh.
Now, in use I've realized what a hassle it **was** having that centerjack blocking me from stepping over the trailer tongue.
Which happens often in a landscaping scenario.
AND when the tailgate is perched on the center jack, EVERYTHING you WANT, is out of reach, cuz you can't put your weight on the tailgate to go after it.
Much better now.
I have a car-trailer with jack pad that telescopes up and down with a pin. THAT is a nice feature, BUT a major hassle compared to the side-mount type that rotates 90* with a SINGLE pin pull. It's probably be stronger though.....depends on the application. For example if you had to disconnect a loaded trailer from the vehicle you (may) want a strong jack that can handle a side load for some conditions.
