Can the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 2" Diameter x 3-1/2" Long Shank - Raw - 30,000 lbs Be Welded
Question:
What applications are this ball used for? What applications does BandW make this ball for? Could it be used in a gooseneck flat fabricated plate in a frame attached flatbed pickup?

The 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 2" Diameter x 3-1/2" Long Shank - Raw - 30,000 lbs part # BWHB94009 could be welded yes and if I were going to select a hitch ball to weld, it would be this one as the raw finish means very little prep involved before welding. That said, these aren't exactly designed to be welded so the weight capacity of said hitch ball would be dependent on the strength of the welds.
