Rattling ball hitch

[Welsh cleaning services]

Game changer for squeaky,rattling,banging tow bar noises.

place a section of plastic sack,such as feed or compost bag over ball hitch before dropping hitch on top.

Peace and quiet bliss.

A mate of mine tried that.

He left a trail of compost all down the 286

If your ball hitch is making that much noise as to be heard over the general trailer clatter, then it's dangerously worn. Don't bodge it, sort it before you kill someone.

Hitch on truck and trailer are a wearing part and should be replaced, trailer hitch should have a wear indicator on it.

Would it be songs about your wife/girlfriend leaving you for a gardener or something similarly heinous?

Yeah its not a good idea like. I  bloke I used to sub to did the same thing with a bit of old t shirt. He thought it was a great idea an yanked the chipper up and down to show how well it worked until it nearly smacked him in the face when he pulled it right off the hitch. It looked like the cloth had jammed the locking pin/clip thing so it didnt lock onto the hitch properly.

This thread is a good argument for the need for trailer training.
