Just got a new truck with the puck system. Bought a B&W Companion hitch that weighs about 230 pounds. What have those of you that have a similar hitch done to remove the hitch without straining your back.
First remove the head from the base. Now release the pucks and lift and slide the base to the edge of the tail gate. Stand on the ground at the tailgate and remove, EZ-PEE-ZEE.
If you think it's EZ-PEE-ZEE, you're the manly man. Too much for me, and that's a fact. :)
It's all in how you handle it. Take the short end and pull it out and down onto a cart then drop the other end. NOT needed to actually pick up the 140#. I would pull it into my body and slowly lower it to the ground. In Construction you learn how to handle heavy items safely.
