[QUOTE="puntabrava, post: 4794718, member: 1113"] I have used them for 25 years and would not post to any thread if I had no idea. I had a 220hp unimog bought new to tow a tri axle Andover low loader. All I will say to those who want to continue using them is whatever you do use a twin wheels on the bogie and not super singles, having experienced a blowout at 50mph you then realise the pivot point of the drawbar connection to the towing vehicle is where all the trouble lies. The natural design is for the load to spread off onto two axles below the kingpin for stability under all conditions. Those that say to weld up the 5th wheel release bar are just exploiting a loophole in a ruling probably brought about by the death of somebody. [/QUOTE]
