Then he isn't doing what is being described here, which is just pulling the pin and yanking the hitch out with the WDH bars still under full tension, not releasing the bars first.
Anyone who is successfully doing this maneuver - just yanking the hitch out and rehooking by doing nothing but sliding the hitch back in - hasn't got their spring bars set so that they are doing anything.
Incorrect and useless spring bar adjustment is the ONLY way this can work, otherwise there's way too much pressure on the hitch trying to rotate itself downward.
Sure, it can be done if you set your spring bars to hold the hitch shank level. But if you do that you're wasting your time even using a WDH, you haven't got it adjusted to work at all.
