Grease on the ball?
A friend we camp with always puts grease on his trailer ball. He says I should do it as well. Is this a good idea?

yep, your right. I should have thrown that in there. most farm implements have four wheels and a tongue that swings down, so the tongue weight is only about 15 lbs! even a boat has minimal tongue weight.
Do you know anything about farm equipment? First you claim most farm trailers have hooks and now you claim most farm implements have four wheels and no tongue weight. Me thinks not.
Since we are off topic now. I guess it depends on what type of farm implement we are talking about! A hay trailer with steerable front wheels and stationary rear wheels has only an arm that just lays on the pintle or ball (depending on how it was set up) has minimal tongue weight. Sorry, I didn't know I needed to explain how every piece of farm equipment works. If I did we would be here all day! I was just giving an explanation of how little some tongue weight could be! Sheesh! :S
I guess we now have the farm police!!!
