Video Overview on JP30
You Ask. We Help. Your FAQs.
What is the towing capacity on the pintle hitch?
The drawbar pull on the pintle hitch will be limited by the available traction since there will presumably be no load in the cradle. There is not a published value but it will be under 3,000 lbs DBP.

We are having some difficulty adjusting to the dead man stop on the joy stick which is different than our first JetPorter. Also, the unit seems to stop more abruptly than it should but we are using it fine.
