This question of "the swing hitch interferes with the placement of the WDH spring bar brackets" comes up now and then. While I don't know of a specific hitch that will work, the idea is to check a number of hitches until you find one with a dimension that will work. There are a ton of hitches in the 800-pound range. To my knowledge, no one who has written about this issue here on the forum has failed to find one. Most of the folks here on the forum use a WDH, and probably half of the members have a swing hitch on their TM.

Remember, the dimension that counts is the distance from the hitch ball to the center of the spring bar bracket, and that has nothing to do with the specific tow vehicle. It may take some research, but I'm sure you can find one.

I realize this doesn't solve your immediate problem of getting your TM home - but I hope it id encouraging.
