Will what are you goo a use it for ? Pick up hitch is ok if you want to move an old farm trailer but you don't want to move anything to big as you'll soon overload the back axle Unimogs are best suited to balanced trailers with a max nose weght of one toone on the rockinger hitch. It's my opinion that pick up hitches are old hat nowadays they where when from the fifties when we were running around in two wheel drive tractors and we needed tractio. On something that can do 40/50 mph you really need balanced trailer with air brakes.
There a reason pickup hitches are not legal in Europe at high speed, saying that pickup hitches at speed are legal in UK towing of the axle is possible and indeed auto guide made one that was approved.
Again will whats your primary use ?
