Jeff: Hello everybody this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at this Brophy anti-rattle drawbar for one and a quarter inch hitch. Has a 3,500 pound weight capacity. Now this ball mount will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion is what'll slide into your vehicles one and a quarter inch hitch receiver and the ball platform up front here provides the mounting point for your hitch ball. Now the hitch ball is not included.
We do sell that separately on our website. Now this gives you both a drop and a rise position to ensure level towing. In the drop position it's going to get you six inches and that's measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. And if you flip it over and put it in the rise position, top of the shank to the ball platform, it's going to be right at five and a half inches.It is a sturdy steel construction has a solid shank on it. And if you notice it comes with this anti-rattle threaded hitch bolt that'll reduce the noise and the movement.
It has a nice corrosion resistant black powder coat finish. It is made in the USA. Few specs on this again, the application is for one and a quarter inch or one and a quarter inch hitch receivers. Gross towing weight capacity is 3,500 pounds. Towing weight capacity, 350 pounds.I do you want to give you a few dimensions on this, if we measure the length of this, which will be measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole.
Let's see, that is right at seven and a quarter inches. And then if you measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to this gusset, where the gusset starts, it's going to be right at about three inches. The ball hole diameter is three quarters of an inch. So when you go to buy a hitch ball, you do want to make sure the shank diameter is three quarters of an inch.That should do it for the review on this Brophy Anti-Rattle Drawbar for the one and a quarter inch hitch with a 3,500 pound weight capacity.

Sturdy steel anti-rattle ball mount with a threaded hitch pin hole and solid shank measures 7-1/4" from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole. Powder coat finish is corrosion resistant.Other than getting most of the paint knocked off of this while in shipping from a loose ball inside the shipping box, it's a very impressive drawbar. The solid square bar that goes inside the receiver makes this much better than any 2" drawbar I've ever had. This thing is seriously heavy! I might not even keep this in the car until it's needed. With the ball, it weighs about as much as my small toolbag

The hitch looks good. It is what I ordered. Two Days! I have to say that I will definitely be recommending etrailer if it comes up.
Good solid hitch great shipping
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Received the Class II Drawbar 5-1/2" Rise or 6" Drop - BM96 in a timely manner. The rise was what I was looking for to use with my Polaris ATV 570 since its standard receiver is 1-1\4 hitch and sits low to the ground. This was just the right height to pull my john boat behind the ATV.
Ken G - 03/26/2015Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Amazingly well built. It took me 8 years to find anyone who carried 1 1/4" hitches. Looks great on my Ford Explorer and I can now leave it there. Before I had an adapter for my 2" hitch, which could be left installed for safety reason. My only concern with this is that it was hanging halfway out of the box when received. The insert portion had broken through a corner, The paper in the box was only to keep the hitch from sliding around within. Didn't work.
Randy H - 06/21/2021Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I bought this product to replace one that didn't have enough rise. On small cars such as a Nissan Versa, the hitch assembly is lower to the ground which can cause your trailer to ride low in front and high in the back. Adding weight toward the tongue only compounds the problem. I had a 4 inch rise which was not sufficient. BM96 gives me an extra 1 1/2" of height. I haul a 26hp 54" cut Husqvarna on a 5' X 10' tilt back trailer from "Old Reliable" One other point to mention. If your trailer rides low in the front and is fitted with a tongue jack, it can be difficult to lower it because the jack wheel can hit the ground in such a way that the jack can't be extended without lifting the tongue. BM96 gives the the extra height I need and solved my problem. This item fit perfectly and required no modification. I would highly recommend this if you need extra height!!

This is just what I needed for my motorcycle and trailer. Thanks
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The draw bar is absolutely perfect! all other internet and local hitch installer contacts said no one makes a 1 1/4" draw bar with a 6" drop. first picture is my original draw bar with a 2.5" drop. the trailer was running quite high. number 2,3,4 are with your Brophy draw bar you can really see the trailer is level.I took a measurement that may come in handy in your files. my car is a 2012 ford escape with a factory trailer package . The measurement from the center of my receiver to the ground is 18"1/4" trailer tires are 5.30x12 This is my new car and I was surprised at the height. the Ford dealer was no help so possibly you can supply other 4 wheel drive escapes with draw bars.

I love the ball-mount. Now I can haul my boat out to the lake. The best part of everything is - I got my package days earlier then expected. The service I received was great. Overall I am very happy with my purchase

I got exactly what I ordered and the website was very helpful with the 360 view. I could not find the 1"1/4 hitch insert anywhere in town. Thanks for the great experience and product.

I am using this on a 2010 Ford Explorer and a 5 x 8 open trailer with 12 inch tires. This worked great to get the drop needed so the trailer is level.

Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Product is great. Though we didn't have a lift to put on the trailer hitch, but after watching your video and few times it took maybe 2 hours and the next day maybe a half hour to add the wiring.
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
etrailer is the only place I could find a 6" drop hitch for 1 1/4" receiver on my Polaris 570. I purchased a trailer on cl and needed a way to pull it evenly behind my four wheeler. I still had to mount the coupler on top of the tongue but that's no big deal. Service was great with immediate feedback once my order was placed and the delivery was fast. I would definitely do business with George again!
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Bought this for my VW Jetta so I could haul my Kendon Dual motorcycle trailer because no hitch gave me enough rise. After installing a 2", 3/4 shank, 2 9/16 shank length ball secured and spaced with 6, 3/4 lock washers, I put it to the test. Loaded my Ferris 48" ZTR and away I went on the test run. Really impressed actually how little play there is in the 1 1/4 hitch. It's quite heavy solid no question.
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Expected my hitch to arrive in about 2 weeks. I got an email from etrailer saying they will upgrade shipping for free and received it in 2 days! Hitch is excactly what i am looking for. The paint was a little spotty on the hitch, but i could care less. It is a good solid hitch. I will turn to etrailer.com for all my towing needs.
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Since my 1989 Corsica, 30 years old, 214,00 miles decided to quit pulling my 1500 pound camper in October, I bought a 24839 Hitch for my 2011 Kia Soul. After installation the class 1 receiver was only 9.5 inches off the ground. Then I found your site and the BM96 with 5.5 inches rise. Perfect! Solid metal, no hollow insert tube! And the camper will tow level! Also to find your Stainless Steel Ball, terrific! Your turn around time from order to receipt was quick! Another site wanted $18 for shipping. Your free shipping amazes me! So all in all, you won my attention and a bookmark. Finally, your using PayPal is great and after having my Credit card hacked three times, I only buy from companies that accept PayPal.

This item is solidly-made. The welds are very high quality. I needed an unusually high-rise for my 91 Civic Wagon to tow a sailboat level and this solved the issue.
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Nice build quality. It was exactly what I needed to match up my small utility trailer to my Jeep Grand Cherokee factory hitch. No where else could I find a 1.25" ball mount with a 6" drop. Many thanks etrailer.com for stocking this item and getting it to me super fast. Your customer service was fantastic too.
Randy B - 05/16/2014Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I found the fit and finish of this product to be first-class. I was concerned about interference with the bumper of my Honda Civic but was pleased to find more than adequate clearance was provided in the design and construction.
Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Product is as described. Seems to be a robust design. The welds look good and solid as is the entire unit. Fits on our '13 Honda Accord just fine. Plenty of clearance between the bumper and the Brophy drawbar. I have not pulled with it yet, but I have no reason to think it won't work just fine. eTrailer has excellent service. I saw a lot of comments about that in other reviews and it is true. I ordered this Tuesday about 2:00 and it showed up on my door step Thursday morning, even with the heavy Christmas shipping. (I did pay a little extra for "Ground" service.) I am quite satisfied and would buy from etrailer again.
Jon H - 12/14/2018Review from a similar Brophy Drawbar in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Extremely high quality hitch. I use the 6 inch drop option and tow a 6x12 enclosed trailer. Etrailer was very fast with shipping and I will definitely shop here again. I wish the shipping company took more care.
