Adjustable Hitch ???

What type of hitch do you guys use? Do you all use the adjustable type on the Brian Miller web site?

Thanks dkight

Thats exactly what I used, but with the advice of Big Daddy instead of nuts on the rods at the hitch plate I used allthread couplings.

Yes that hitch design works fine. If one can get a piece of steel other than 1018 or A36 do so and after you are done with machining it you harden the hook hole to keep the hook from messing up the edge of the hole over time. And as gtpuller stated I would use all thread couplers instead of nuts because it will help spread out the load on the all thread.
