The company does not recommend mounting their D035 under the drawbar.
But I can't see what difference it would make in terms of stress.
The trailer pulls fine with the under mount.
By mounting the hitch under the bar I gain necessary clearance for my spare tire swing out and it helps to level the trailer.
The trailer weighs maybe 1500 pounds loaded. I'm guessing the tongue weight is a couple hundred pounds.
What am I missing?
