Stressor made an EXCELLENT point, with the experiment with the hitch and strap to a tree. However, tluxon is correct, in that pulling on the hitch this way, does not allow the hitch to pivot through the elliptical path/virtuall pivot point, so it indeed would not move.
Anyway, I just sent an Email to Hensley, requesting that they have one of their engineer types, come on here and contribute to the thread. They probably won't do such, but I still thought I'd ask and see. :)
