Tow Hitch

[Dan Weaver]

Here's my thought process:
If he is using a ball hitch on the bird, and the tow bar connects
onto the ball, it is not as stable or reliable/rigid as a receiver
tow bar. (the hitch could seperate from the ball more easily if at
an angle and given stress). From various readings on tow sites
(such as blue ox), a ball mount tow bar must be level at the initial
part of the tow bar connected onto the ball. I may not be
explaining this well, but checking blue ox ball mount hitch
documentation, and receiver hitch documentation will better explain
it.
