Video Transcript for Trailer Hitch Ball Mount 10" Drop, 7,500 lbs Feature Review

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Brophy ball mount for two inch hitches. Has the 10 inch drop and a 7,500 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is a nice, sturdy steel ball mount for two inch hitches, and it can be used in the drop position to fit your application. Total drop on this, which is measured from the ball platform to the top of the shank, you can see if we put a ruler on it, it's gonna be right at 10 inch drop.

Now, this ball mount will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. And because this has such a large drop of 10 inches, it is designed for lifted trucks. This shank right here will slide into your vehicle's two inch hitch receiver. And the ball platform right up front here provides the mounting point for your hitch ball. Now, the hitch ball is not included.

That is sold separately. The ball hole diameter that the ball fits in is one inch. So, it is designed to work with hitch balls that have a one inch shank diameter, and the thickness of the ball platform is 3/4 of an inch. Now, this ball mount cannot be used in the rise position, and it cannot be use with hitch extenders. Also, one other note I do wanna mention, use of any ball mount like this that has a 10 inch drop does reduce the trailer hitch capacity by 1/3.

So, your towing capacity is limited to 2/3 of your lowest rated towing component, be it the vehicle, the hitch, the ball mount, or your hitch ball. This is a nice, sturdy steel construction. You can see it has the hollow shank. It is a corrosion resistant black powder coat finish. And when you do install this into your hitch receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure it.

Now, that is not included. We do sell those separately on our website, and they're usually listed on this product page as a related product. The pin hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch, so you do wanna make sure to use a pin and clip or hitch lock that is a 5/8 inch diameter pin. Now, the length, the length in a ball mount is always measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. So, on this one, if we go from the center to the center of the ball hole, that is right at 11 1/8 inches. And then the distance from the center of this hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the gusset, you can see they put this gusset in there for extra support, so just to make sure you don't run into any fitment problems, the center to that, to the start of the gusset is about 3 3/4 inches. Now, this part is made in the USA. Again, the specs on this, it's designed to fit two inch by two inch trailer hitch receivers. Gross towing weight capacity is 7,500 pounds, and the tongue weight capacity is 750 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Brophy ball mount for two inch hitches with the 10 inch drop and a 7,500 pound gross towing weight capacity..

Working out great!



by:

I ordered a 10 drop ball mount, a wheel chock to hold my motorcycle and a master lock ball lock to use when the trailer is parked. I am very happy with the purchase, the ball mount and the wheel chock have good looking welds and they are power coated, the security lock is polished stainless. I am real happy with my purchase. the sales person, ( Karen in this case ) was knowledgable on the products, I qualified for free shipping, was given an email and tracking number, so I knew at all times were my shipment was in route. The products were packages well with no damage and UPS did an outstanding job of meet their stated schedule for delivery, out standing. The purchase and delivery proves to me American Business can excel and they really did with my order.



by:

The products I purchased are of good quality and the 10" drop ball mount was exactly as advertised. The only problem I have is with the amount of dimension information provided on your website for the sway control bracket that did not fit on the ball mount itself. Your website states that the ball mount is a class III mount and that the sway control bracket would fit on class III and class IV mounts when in fact it does not. Other than that I am satisfied with the quality, cost and delivery of my products.



by:

This replaces an adjustable hitch that rattled, clattered, and banged so much it drove me crazy. I use this to pull small trailers with astronomical equipment in them, with the old hitch the trailers would swing side to side enough the items inside the trailer would shift position and rub on other items.



by:

Got the help I needed (from Gwen) to identify and confirm my understanding of what I needed (receiver hitch with a 10 inch drop) and then placing the order. I was then very happy with the quick shipping and delivery. Although the estimated delivery was a week and a half later, I actually received the hitch only 2 days later.



by:

I recently bought a new Subaru Ascent and it had a class three hitch and a high ground clearance as compared to my old Honda Pilot. I needed to drop the ball 10 inches to tow my boat. Found exactly what I needed at etrailer! The ball mount appears well made and sturdy, and quite a bit heavier than I expected. Looks like it will last forever!



by:

Very impressed with etrailer. The product was in stock. They kept me informed every step of the way. When delivered (on time) the hitch and ball were in perfect condition. To top it off, etrailer sent me an email telling me the shipment was delivered on my porch. Best service I have gotten from internet shopping. This is the first review I have ever writtten - tells how impressed I was.



by:

Great price and fast ship.Thanks



by:

I have put this hitch through torture from pulling heavy loads to snatching and pulling friends out of bad situations . I can't bend or break this hitch , best money I ever spent .



by:

Product is exactly what I ordered. If there is a concern about the gusset clearance to your hitch and the pin not lining up, mine clears with room to spare. Shipping was quick and another great eTrailer experience.



by:

Shipped promptly and appears to be of excellent quality. Haven't towed with it yet but anticipate no problems. Got it to drop hitch 10" foot to tow a car dolly.



by:

Etrailer had exactly what I needed and delivered shockingly fast. You've completely exceeded my expectations. I've already put in another order. Very well done!



by:

Certainly a solid piece. The only class IV 10” drop there is out there.



by:

Required for my low tilt up dolly on my class c Motorhome.



by:

Product is great, and delivered exactly as described. etrailer.com did an excellent job with customer service. Communication was top notch. This was a customer service test for etrailer.com and they passed with flying colors. I will do business with them again.



by:

Ball mount with 10 inch drop is great, but it arrived with half of it sticking out of the box. Just some minor scratches in the paint. Stronger packaging needed.



by:

Product is just as advertised heavy duty, well made.Fast delivery and packaged well. Always great service from this outfit keep up the excellent service etrailer.



by:

Product appears to be as advertised - very sturdy and well constructed. Also it arrived quickly with no delay to my doorstep. Packaged well. Will come back aftr I have had time to actually use this product but for now I am going with a review of 5 out of 5.



by:

This 10" drop enables my 4WD Ram with 20 inch rims to hook up to my car hauler and have it be level. The order arrived on time.



by:

Does exactly what I need it to. Have '06 explorer pulling a motor cycle trailer - have to keep it level and this did the trick



by:

Great product. Very satisfied with purchase and delivery. Thank you for making shopping online a great experience.



by:

I don't usually write reviews, but the people at etrailer were fast, professional, and caring. Thank you!



by:

The hitch very good. But the packaging needs work it was falling out both ends of box

  • Towing Capacity of Fixed Ball Mounts
    The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" hitches - 8-3/4" Rise - 10" Drop - 8,000 lbs item # AMSC10 that was previously referenced is a superior hitch to the Brophy 10" drop item # BM10. It is a stronger reinforced hitch that has a higher weight capacity of 8,000 lbs over the Brophy which only has a 7,500 lbs limit. The use of the Convert-A-Ball fixed mount item # AMSC10 will not reduce your vehicle, hitch, or hitch balls towing capacity. For a fixed ball mount with a 5" rise I recommend the...

  • Fixed 2" Ball Mount w/ 10-3/4" Rise and 12" Drop
    Yes, we do carry multiple hitches, ball mounts, that are similar to the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches item # AMSC12 you were looking at. The closest comparable product would be the Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball Mount 10" Drop, 7,500 lbs item # BM10. If you have some more specific requirements please email me back with them and I can make a better recommendation. I have linked our entire selection of fixed ball mounts below.

  • What is the Distance from the Hitch Pin Hole to the Weld Gusset on Brophy Ball Mount BM10
    The Brophy 2-inch Ball Mount # BM10 measures 3-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the gusset weld seam. The photo provided includes this measurement.

  • Availability of 2-Inch Ball Mount with 10-Inches of Drop
    For a 2-inch ball mount with 10-inches of drop you can refer to the linked page which displays fixed ball mounts like # AMSC10, which offers 10-inches of drop or 8-3/4-inches of rise. This ball mount measures 11-1/2-inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. For a similar adjustable ball mount with 10-inches of maximum drop you might prefer Convert-a-Ball # TK5007 which provides 13-inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. A second link to adjustable ball mounts is provided...

  • Availability of 10 inch Drop Ball Mount for 2 inch Hitch
    The Brophy Ball Mount part # BM10 is a 10 inch drop ball mount like you are looking for with a 7,500 lb trailer capacity. For a 2 inch ball then you'd want the part # 63845.

  • Availability of Ball Mount that Has 10 inches of Drop
    Hey Roger, the closest option we have is the Brophy part # BM10 which has a 10 inch drop but it does not have a 10k capacity as it is rated only for 7,500 lb.

  • Is It True That A Ball Mount With 10" Of Drop Should Be De-Rated To 2/3 Of The Weight Capacity?
    That is an interesting question. I can honestly say that we have not heard of this rule before. It does make sense though, that a ball mount with a 10" or larger drop could not hold as much weight as one with less drop. We ran this question by the folks at Brophy to get the official word. We were told that all of their ball mounts including the # BM10 are rated based on the drop. So the de-rating is already factored in to the listed weight capacity, and you do not need to calculate anything...

  • Ball Mount With 10" Drop for Tow Dolly
    I believe you are asking about a ball mount with a 10" drop and I recommend checking out the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC10. This ball mount fits 2" receivers, has a maximum 10" drop and a weight capacity of 8,000 lbs. You will need Pin and Clip # PC3, and for a 2" hitch ball you will need # 40038; if you needed a 2-5/16" hitch ball the correct part is # C40007.

  • Correct Use of Roadmaster 10 Inch High-Low Hitch Adapter
    Tow bars are used behind motorhomes or trucks to tow a vehicle. The Roadmaster 10 inch High - Low Hitch Adapter, part number RM-048-10, is not designed to have tongue weight applied to it like when towing a boat trailer, utility trailer or camper. This adapter is designed for applications where the towed vehicle is resting on its own four wheels and being pulled by another vehicle with a tow bar. We do have ball mounts with a 10 inch drop or more and adjustable draw bars that will allow...

  • Trailer Ball Mount With 10-1/2 Drop
    I assume you mean a ball mount made for a (Class-3) 2" hitch receiver with a 10-1/2" drop. The Brophy # BM10 ball mount with 10" drop is rated for 7500 trailer weight and 750 pounds tongue weight. The mount is designed for hitch balls with 1" shank diameter. If you need a 1-7/8" hitch ball the Draw-Tite # 19260 chrome hitch ball would be good. If you need a 2" hitch ball the Curt # 40038 chrome hitch ball would be a good fit. Finally, if you need a 2-15/16" hitchball, the Curt # C40007...

  • Anti-Rattle Device to Stop Rattle and Movement of a Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack
    We have several different anti-rattle devices that you could use to reduce or maybe even eliminate rattle of the rack in the hitch. First, many bike racks now come with a threaded bolt or anti-rattle device of some kind. If you can tell me the bike rack you have I can see if there is one specifically made for it. I recommend the No-Rattle clamp, # RM-061-125 as it will fit 1-1/4 inch hitches and accessories and the bike rack shank can be solid or hollow. Or order # MPG908 for 2 inch....

  • What is Clearance From Hitch Pin Hole to Welded Gusset on Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball Mount # BM10
    On the Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball Mount # BM10 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the welded support gusset is 3-3/4. Please note that use of this ball mount with its 10-inch drop will have the effect of reducing your hitch's capacity by 1/3. It can neither be used with extenders nor used in an inverted position. I checked all available ball mounts with 10-inches of drop (all can be seen on the link provided) but none offers the 5-1/4-inches of clearance...

  • Ball Mount with the Most Drop for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
    I have not seen a 1-1/4 inch ball mount that offered 12 inches of drop. The most that we have is a 6 inch drop # C45028 (Class I or II) or # BM96 (Class I). If this is for a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee I recommend switching to a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch, # 13251, so you can use a ball mount with more drop such as # AMSC12.
