CURT 40085 Raw Steel Trailer Hitch Ball, 30,000 lbs, 2-5/16-Inch Diameter, 1-1/4 x 2-5/8-Inch Shank

Received the ball, but was unable to install it because it came without a washer and nut

after install the second day and the whole ball was rust!!!!!!!!!!

This is a heavy duty product...very substantial. I would buy again!

Great quality. Not exactly what we needed.

As expected, great price, fast shipping

MADE IN CHINA

happy

This is the strongest ball I can find and its only slightly more expensive than others. It is bare steel and will immediately rust so I spray painted mine black and then greased it. I also use a rubber ball cap when unhitched. My only complaint is that there are no flat spots on the sides for holding it while tightening to 450 ft-lbs. You have to use a pipe wrench to hold it which works fine but does leave marks. It seems all the newer balls omit the flat spots. I guess it cost a few cents extra to have them machined.

Company transports a skidsteer often our previous ball and hitch busted under the weight while driving. This one seems to have no problem under the 13000 to 17000 lbs. Well built. Just make sure you tighten your nut on tight.

Extremely heavy duty. Not the best corrision resistance but will hold strong for decades. Well worth $20 for 30k towing strength
