The hitch itself on my unit should be strong enough to handle 1000lb of tension required to pull the unit up a set of inground ramps.

A word of caution however, he also indicated that some newer units have a lighter weight cross member that should not be used in this manner.

So now all I have to do is dig the holes and configure a link between my tow vehicle's hitch, and the rear hitch of the TM. I love it when a plan comes together.
What are you going to do with the tongue jack?
