[A/S] Re: A different hitch option

["Dick Kenan" <as5368@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     I don't think *any* hitch would pass a 12"-18" drop into a 
ditch, certainly not a standard Reese.  I *have* spoken to a number 
of people who had bad experiences with a standard hitch when dropping 
off a 6"-8" paving difference (the road was being re-paved, and he 
was on the newly paved part and dropped over onto the old pavement); 
one totaled his brand new trailer that way.  I've also spoken to a 
couple who've had the experience of dropping over a paving difference 
with a Hensley and had no trouble with it; of course that's a small 
sample.  Those paving differences more typically run 4"-6", but can 
be higher; and, you have to factor in the natural tendency to 
exaggerate when relating the experiences.
     You won't get any testers. ;-)
