Lube plate

[Racine96]

Question: when using a lube plate, doesn't it prevent the pin from come down further in the hitch? Does it affect how well the pin can be wrapped by the hitch mechanism?

I use one with a BW Companion and it works great.

The correct answer is maybe. Depends on several factors to include pin length, lube plate thickness, and hitch design. I have had trouble using a lube plate with a Binkley hitch head. It would not latch with a lube plate, yet the same fiver with a Reese hitch and a pull rite hitch latched fine.

If you used more than one plate, (no reason to do so) it could be too thick, but use one and no issue.
