FAQs

What is the maximum weight this tow ball can tow?

This Neilsen Heavy Duty Plated Tow Ball has a maximum towing capacity of 3500 pounds.

What size is the tow ball and shank?

The tow ball diameter is 50mm (2 inches), and the shank length is 62mm.

What type of vehicle is this tow ball best suited for?

It is specifically designed for use on ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles) to tow trailers.

Do I need to grease the tow ball?

Yes, applying a light coat of grease to the ball surface before connecting the trailer coupler helps reduce friction and wear, extending the life of both components.

How should I clean the tow ball?

Clean the tow ball regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt, mud, and road salt. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.

What is the benefit of the chrome-plated finish?

The chrome-plated finish provides enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion, protecting the tow ball from rust and wear, especially in outdoor or harsh conditions.

Does this product come with a hitch pin?

No, the tow ball itself does not include a hitch pin or mounting hardware. These typically need to be purchased separately and must be compatible with your hitch receiver.

Troubleshooting

Tow ball is loose in the hitch receiver.

Ensure the correct shank size (62mm) is used and that the hitch pin is securely fastened. Check that the hitch receiver mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

Trailer coupler does not fit securely on the tow ball.

Verify that the trailer coupler is designed for a 50mm (2 inch) tow ball. Check for any debris or damage on both the ball and the coupler that might be preventing a proper fit. If the coupler is worn, it may need replacement.

Chrome finish appears to be chipping or rusting.

While the chrome plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can cause wear. Clean the affected area and apply a rust inhibitor or a light coating of grease. Inspect regularly for further deterioration.
