Let's see your pullin hitches!!!

Go to your local Cat dealer and get bolts and nuts of the corresponding size, youll never break them!
 
Thanks fellas. Seeing as I cannot recognize a sturdy pin, I appreciate your direction in this matter.:thankyou2: :doh:
 
nothing against you man, but when those 2 hitches failed guess what broke also, red handled hitch pin.....plus i seen them fail a few times at different pulls over the summer......i just want everyone to be safe.....
 
And I appreciate your concern. I would rather have someone tell me than to sit back in their chair and go, "He'll find out sooner or later." Thanks for the heads up!
 
Made spring 2007

I just got a chubby:bow: Awsome hitch!!!

I guarantee you 100% though that I would bend the threaded rod. Its a great idea and if I could find a way to make it better/stonger I will build one for next season. Mine is pretty adjustable but thats just sick looking.

Here is mine...

I was just looking at your 1/4 mile numbers on the Z06, i had a 2004 big cam , headers, x pipe , intake , good tune. It made 436 rwhp. 1/4 mile only 11.30 at 123 . How much power does youre Z06 make . I sold mine but got a really fast SRT8 jeep.

Pulled all season without a problem. Still can adjust it with a small wrench.

If you look closely I think you can see that the support isn't on the threaded rod. It just moves it up and down. I think there is a channel that takes the abuse.

I was going to say the same thing...You have to look real close, but there is a channel that takes the stress and not the rod. Once again, sweet hitch:clap:

Yes, made from billet and yes, designed and machined by myself.
 
Ok guys my machine shop has a hitch built for all us pullers and I got the first and it is bad. This hitch is solid steel and weighs 50lbs. It is awesome. We are in the process of making many more. Also working on many more fun items for our pull trucks. PM for more information.
