6 inch Drop hitches, dirt, a tractor, and half tons don't mix to well bro.

Lol ya your absolutely right. I made the decision to get a 2500 and a gooseneck dump big enough to fit tractor in rather than a 4500 dump truck. My business is continuing to grow rapidly and I have decided it would be more beneficial that way I can run a landscape crew and a mowing crew at once.

a easier and cheaper fix would be a straight hitch when that loaded.
I'd run that half ton into the dirt.

I have a shorter drop hitch like a 2" but I didn't want to unhook it all and do all that jazz. And I plan on it. It'll stick with toting around that 16' until it rusts apart. Engines can always be fixed and the magnums last forever

all my hitches are overbuilit,
you should have gotten a hitch plate, solid 2" stock for the receiver then the big flat plate with four holes and throw a pintle combo on there at the correct height for a level trailer. my pintle is rated for 16K, ball is rated for 12K. I dont mess around with those stupid adjustable hitches, too dangerous. oh and a 3.92 axle ratio on a 17K gvwr truck? not my cup of tea.

Ya ill save all that for the new rig though when I'm towing heavier stuff. And that's what I was thinking too but it also says it has the best acceleration of any truck in its class. It must be something with their new tranny. Great truck I want one but I just don't find that the best option right now. I can be more productive runing 2 rigs

Are you planing on getting a mower deck for the tractor or any other implements for it?

Yes right now I'm planning on a. brush hog and finish mower. Also eventually a backhoe for it and I'm trying to figure out how to get either a 4 in 1 or a grapple to work on it. I have a set of pallet forks over at the farm that I'm going to rig to fit on it as well. Those things are handy
