Either a pintle and lunette, or the lock n roll.
That Lock and roll is SWEET!!!!

Yep, for offroad, I would use either a Treg hitch which is mostly from outside the US or the US made Lock-n-roll. Both work perfectly offroad. The Pintle works fine, it just has enough play to cause some clunking which can be irritating.
I agree the pintle is annoying, that's why on my trailer I am goin to go with the locknroll. much more pricey but very worth it IMO.
Lock n' roll here also!! That is a great set up!!! and they have an amazing aray of weights/style.. I have more options now!

AT offers the Lock-N-Roll as an option for all of our trailers. It has very few issues with binding as the 3 axis of rotation are well spaced apart.
We primarily offer the P/N 303 and P/N 212 as it best fits our application.
The two sections are a snug fit with very little unnecessary movement between them. In addition we use a Silent Hitch Pin that takes out any movement between the receiver tube and the draw bar or coupler. So there is no movement or noise from the coupler at all.

Martyn, where do you weld the 202 to?
Sorry that was a misprint I meant to type 212 which fits into the 2" receiver tube. I have edited my original post.Originally Posted by Steve Curren
Steve, so far you are doing very well on the test

Can the Lock/Roll be locked to prevent it from rotating (so it still has the freedoms of a standard pintle setup?)
