14k Equalizer Hitch-Max TW when not using the bars?
I occasionally tow another trailer with my equalizer hitch but I do not use the weight distribution bars when towing it. Is the max tongue weight still 1400 pounds if you're not using the bars?

I used my old Equal-i-zer head in weight-carrying mode to pull a loaded car trailer once. The effect I noticed after is that it distorted the small bolt at the bottom of the hitch head that tensions the head against the shank.
When using it in weight-distributing mode the moment applied to the head is opposite and no forces are applied to that little bolt.
I now have a bigger trailer and larger Equal-i-zer hitch, but I would do as you did and buy the proper weight-carrying drawbar if I needed to pull another trailer without using weight distribution.
