For 4 reasons, I traded in my Anderson on an Equalizer 1000# 4-point hitch today.
- DW could not turn the nut with my long-handle ratchet, and she has to be able to participate in the process
'Just wondering if I'm missing something here. Provided your hitch is already set up for your situation, and you know how many threads on the bolts should show, why not do this instead: After coupling, raise the tongue to allow easy and fast attachment of the WD chains. This method does not require the use of any long-handled ratchet, and the adjustments are already made.
I used to do the same with my old equalizer hitch on my older TT. Instead of using the snap tool to bring the torsion bars into the L brackets, I would raise the tongue a bit and just slide them in.
The Andersen Hitch has been on my trailer for about a year now and I love it.
