Hensley Arrow: How does it REALLY work?
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...

Ummm....maybe its my imagination, but it seems this thread has divided into two major, separate debates:
1. Stressor vs. everyone else, in the argument of whether or not the Hensley is physically and completely locked, from the trailer end (with Stressor's now famous photos, showing the cable attached to the side of the Hensley)
2. Burbman, myself vs. Ron Gratz and Tluxon, in the argument of whether or not the hensley forms somewhat of a 'virtual' lock from the trailer end, when being pulled on/tensioned. No, its not a complete 100% lock, but due to the forces involved, its pretty close to such.
No disrespect intended toward Stressor or anyone else, but I think argument/debate #1 is not going anywhere, and is generating a few almost 'hateful' remarks, which is not good.
Argument #2 OTOH, is something I think we can prove/disprove (or at least discuss more peacefully). And, if we do prove this assertion is true, I think it will satisfy Stressor also, that the point he's making is true also, in a round-about way. IOW, this would make us all happy, and in agreement. :)
That being the case, I would like to respectfully request that we concentrate on #2. I think that might be a bit more productive..
