    Hi Leroy,
    I have used tregg hitches for many years, but I have now been converted to the Hyland hitch. In my situation I am always towing different trailers and find the convenience of the Hyland suits my needs. The only point with the Hyland is you need a 3.5 t ball with a raised shank. Cheers Rob.

    I should probably add, price also, as I am on a very tight budget for this trailer. and most of the hitches I look at cost more than more entire budget :S

    I have one of these...

    the advantages are that it is an off-road coupling that fits a standard towball and that it is very simple to connect trailer to vehicle (no tools required)
