| I saw a few complaints that the spare tire won't fit inside a Putnam, it looks to be a nice hitch though.

| hitch
I have a class 5 XDR hitch and I can pull 16,000 lbs with it.
I haul a 2004 Trailtech bobcat trailer loaded with various machines-farm tractors,skid steer loaders,ect.
Great hitch so far had it since August and no problems. | |

| question for LBZ farm truck
How much does your backhoe/gooseneck combo weigh?
I can't pull that weight here on my single axle 2005 because of DOT regulations. | |

| ordered two putnams. One for me and one for my brother. By far the cheapest and holds the most weight, plus you can keep your spare.
