Do you grease your towball??

[Cerbera]

I have no stabiliser fitted, and the hitch just clunks over the ball and locks. In the past I have always applied a dollop of graphite grease or vaseline on the towball from time to time - mostly when towing car trailers and small box trailers (not that that should make any difference!)

So, do I, ahem, grease my ball or not?

Yes.

yes. if you tow without a alko hitch even if you tow the the blade type, grease the ball only alko type hitches require a clean dry ball

if you change to a alko type later you have to change the ball for the alko type anyway as they are a different size and stand out further from the bar
