Is This Legal?

That is way way to big to be real.

Next time you see it parked throw a loop of chain around it and hook to a tree.:B DutchmenSport is referring to a pintle hitch which that isn't.

Come on gang...it's just for laughs not real. Made of plastic.
Like those bull balls or bloody arms hanging out of car trunks


If real it would be used on gantry cranes with 20 ton capabilities

In Ill. it's legal, if it was over 4' it has to have a flag, but you could get a ticket for taking the picture with your phone while driving, LOL

A nod to Dutchmen, I've seen a lot of those around here on logging equipment trailers and the trucks that service them.

That one looks a lot bigger than the typical hook. I'm with downtheroad, it's a "compensator hook"

Those hitches are used for transporting construction trailers. The tongue on the trailer are a round donught . The hook catches the hole of the donught. We had those type of hitches in the Army on almost everything.

Certainly is just for show. Looking at the paint, it has never been hooked to anything.
Probably just as legal as those idiot bull ba!!s that I see hanging off the hitch of some trucks.
