There have been several discussions on this hitch that have become somewhat 'controversial'. I am NOT trying to stir this controversy/bashing back up. Instead, I'd like to see a good, intelligent di...

Ron, nobody is discounting or disputing the value of the analyses you put forth on this subject. You've been able to quantify the physics and geometry of the HA equation very clearly, if not a bit complicated for your average marketing guy :B
I'll go out on a limb and say that both Will and I agree with everything you have said to this point. However, what we are saying is that in addition to all that, the tension that exists between TV and TT as the TT is being towed adds additional resistance to ANY movement of the 4-bar linkage, particularly inputs from the TT.
Can you formulate a proof that shows that these forces do not affect the behavior of the HA? I think that would effectively let the air out of our tires.
