It would seem to me that if I towed a 6 ton load on a trailer
that weighed a ton by itself, I would be just about maxed right out for
the pintle hitch provided I didn't go over the 3000# vertical load. It
would seem to me that hitting a bump or going over a set of railroad
tracks and bouncing the trailer hitch could multiply the load on the
pintle hook and easily exceed the 3000# rated load.

rated load is usually 1/5 of ultimate strength. Ther is a safety factor
