Question about faster hitch unhooking
I have the Husky Centerline TS WDH setup and i was wondering if it was ok to get my trailer somewhat level with my hitch, take safety chains and electric, then pulling the pin in my hitch, and driving...

I have never tried to do that. I would think you could only do that with the hitch designed 'to do that'.
I would think you need to release the torsion bar pressure and by pulling forward releasing the shank from the receiver would cause the head to drop down. I cant imagine trying that with pressure on the system, therefore you would have to release the torsion bars before you attempt that. You are not saving any time because you have to raise and lower the tongue.
In order to re-hitch, you would have to have someone hold the head up while you attempt to back up trying to put the shank into a 2x2 square.
It seems to me you would have to unhitch the assembly to re-install it .
It's easier and safer to hitch and unhitch as the mfg subscribes by lifting the tongue, releasing torsion bar pressure and lifting off the ball.
I think the term shank should actually be called a 'stinger' . I get my "S's mixed up all the time. :)
