Hey all. New to site. Jack (of all trades) has a question. Has anyone been moving around heavy trailer. Say 3000 pounds. I am guessing you can’t put 300 pounds of tongue weight on the back even if you raised a ball high enough for the trailer to be level. The core would just Cat Walk and probably te…

Tongue weight is your biggest issue. Very easy to snap the tow hitch. Don’t overload it! Technically Yarbo can pull a lot of dead weight in a straight line if you have appropriate traction, but it won’t be agile when it comes to turning.

I think he put it on YouTube. Wonder if it’s still there?

You ever see that VW Beetle with the hitch on top. That’s a must for us. [image] [1974 Volkswagen Beetle & Roof Hitch Mount Camper Unit Pretty Cool Wish They Had This Today]

Oh I remember that VW. I thought it was so amusing how perfectly it fit under the 5th wheel hitch.

Hi there, Jack — welcome to the forum! We don’t recommend using Yarbo to move trailers of that weight. For more details on how the tow hitch is intended to be used, you may refer to the articles we’ve provided: Understanding Yarbo Tow Hitch & Towing Capacity | Yarbo Wiki . If you have any other que…
