Why dont you just buy a haymen reese ( or make something better ) and a recovery hitch. Hard work done.

I just had an urge to fabricate something and thats what I came up with

Bloody good to ... as you said, some gussetting/plating on the chassis mount should make it plenty strong enough ... appreciate something 'can' always break, but if it's over engineered on yours, that's going to mean it'll happen to a lot of manufacturer built gear before it ever does to yours ...
you should be able to pull tree stumps with that mate.....looks ballsy.....................!!!

Knocked this up for mine.
Makes for a simple, fast hookup.
Love your work Pat.......... How simple is that & a cheaper alternative to others out there.........Knocked this up for mine.

Cheers for the post.

A mate of mine did some interesting "snatch" tests while doing his engineering degree.Knocked this up for mine.

You may be interested in the following figures resulting from "snatching" experiments. Shock load of 8 tonne about 14 km/hr, around 13 tonne at about 21 km/hr. Exceeded the SWL of 2x rating at about 27 km/hr.
Need to ask yourself if your welds could handle these sort of loads.
Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on
Would be as solid as if the bar goes all the way through (which I am guessing is)
In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".
Yes, it does. The weld is only to stop the bar from falling out. We are relying on shear strength with this unit.
