Goose-neck hitch

What kind of goose-neck hitch do you have in your HD? I was looking at one that folds down, but I can't remember who makes it. Any suggestions?

There is a goose neck hitch made by B&W called Turnover Ball goose neck hitch. I have no first hand knowledge but from what I understand it is a very good hitch. Their website is

www.turnoverball.com, take a look it might have been what you looked at.

Hope this helps out!!!

I'm not sure if the site metioned is the one or not but one of the mfg.'s make a turnover ball that has a handle monted in the fenderwell so you don't need to climb into the back of the truck to set it up or put it down. I leave mine down most of the time only put it up about once a year when I use a buddys goose neck.

The one I'm talking about is made by Atwood.

Here's the link to the website.

Only have good things to say about the B&W turnover ball hitch. I use my B&W to haul a heavy horse trailer and a 14,000 flatbed. Installed it myself.

Other folks in the farming business will endorse them too. They are simple and effective over the long hauls. Don't get loose and work every time. I have doubts about the mechanics of the pop-up types and the folding ones get loose at the pivot. The bolted folding ones are a bit better but a pain to fold.

Look around ...

Hey Hosspuller, how did you mount the B&W hitch? Did you buy the mounting kit or make one yourself? And how much did it cost?

Sorry about the late reply ...

B&W sells the hitch to fit the application. One of the reasons it's superior. There aren't adapter plate compromises. I bought it through the net, can't remember what I paid. All hardware needed is included. Installation is straight forward if you can follow directions. The only odd tool is the 4inch holesaw for the bed. It makes the cleanest installation.

With practice, installation could be done in two hours. It took me longer cuz I had to get out all the tools and then put them all back. Lastly, if you want to DIY ... measure twice, cut once.
