Video Transcript for Review of Buyers Products Pintle Hitch - Combination Pintle Hitch With 2-5/16" Ball - BP38FR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at this Buyers Products 15 Ton Combination Pintle Hitch with a 2 5/16 inch hitch ball. Now, if you are looking for a combination hitch that combines both a ball hitch and pintle hook in one product, this might be just what you need. This will allow you to pull loads that have either a coupler or a drawbar pintle ring without having to change hitches, so it's very convenient, it's gonna provide flexibility. This is ideal for contractors, tradesmen, and haulers who tow a range of construction equipment. As you can see, there is an attached safety pin and clip, it's tethered with this chain, so it's gonna be very difficult to lose, and then to open this up, you'll just lift up this T-handle, and it's spring loaded, and bring that back, and you'll have access to the 2 5/16 inch ball, but also, you can just drop your ring right in here. So again, very easy to use, and I really like the fact that the safety pin and clip is attached, so again, very difficult to lose.

Now, the 2 5/16 inch ball is included as you can see here, but also this is bolt mounted, a drilling template is included with the instructions. And just some measurements here, the overall height of this, we're gonna be sitting, let me make sure my ruler's the right direction, we're gonna be sitting right at about 8 1/4 inches tall overall, and then the area where the ring is going to sit, looking at the height there, looks like we're sitting right at about 2 1/4 inches tall, and looking at how wide that area is, we're gonna be sitting right at about 2 5/8 inches wide. From the center of the ball to the end of the mounting plate, we're gonna be sitting right at about 6 1/4 inches, again, from the center of the ball to the end of our mounting plate. And then looking at those mounting holes, measuring horizontally first, center to center, looks like we're sitting right at 3 3/8 inches across, center to center, and then vertically, again, center to center, line that up, looks like we're gonna be sitting right at about 1 5/8 inches. Now, the mounting kit is sold separately, but you can find that on our website using item number 3378520.

This hitch is made in the USA of a tough forged steel construction with a maximum gross trailer weight of 30,000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 6,000 pounds. It has a durable powder coated finish that's gonna make it corrosion resistant. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..
