I wondered the same thing on that thread. It's ancient! I read though a bunch of it last fall, and the information was pretty much useless.

Put Dedmiston on it. He'll get it done. :)

It may be an ancient thread but it applies just as much today as it did back then. Also, since when is intelligent discussion considered bs?

Actually, the Hensley hitch is the same now as it was back then also. Fantastic piece of metal. I know because I used one for many years until just recently.

Anyway, the thread remains because it still applies, and people are still interested in that topic.

LOL I see bs arguing on current topics. Nothings changed.

If we applied thought that to every thread with usable info, every thread would be a sticky.

The Hensely hitch has a very small following, and even less people will actually buy one due to the extreme cost. If someone wants to find info on it, they can search for it just like they are expected to do with other threads and topics.

The thread would probably be of more relevance to be classified as a sticky if it wasn't a locked thread, or 10 years old.

Delta, Every sticky is there because the moderator of that forum thought it needed to be there. You have no idea how many inquiries both Les Adams (former TT forum moderator) and I received concerning the Hensley hitch and how it works. We both spent considerable time and effort answering e-mails and PM's about the Hensley hitch so we decided to make that thread a sticky. Most threads run their course and then people lose interest and move on or start a new thread about the topic so there is no need for a sticky. That is not the case with that thread.

Please see my original reply to this topic. Also, whether someone buys one or not has no bearing. Selling is not the purpose of that, or any other thread.

I don't see why being a locked thread or age has anything to do with it. Everything in that thread applies as much today as it did 10 years ago and I still refer people to it from time to time to help them understand the hitch.
P.S. All forum threads are locked automatically after one year.

Why are you complaining about it? If I don't wish to view a thread I simply move on to a topic that I'm interested in.
