Good morning! The Demco 18K and 21K Auto Slides are a Rack and Pinion Gear System design. Once the truck and trailer have turned just over 10 degrees, the hitch begins to slide rearward automatically. The more your turn the more it slides until you are at a full 14 inches of slide in a 90 degree turn. This works when traveling in forward or reverse direction. As the truck and trailer return to the straight position, the hitch will automatically slide back forward.

Probably best to have you call us at 800.543.3626. We could determine by a phone conversation with a few different questions.

We have all of our manuals here: www.demco-products.com/trailer-components/actuators. This should give you the answers you need!

If the Outback is rear wheel drive, yes, you can separate the drive shaft and use the tow dolly.

We had a right hand for last two years and no one like it it. Just went back to a right hand.

Most manufacturers have a right hand option. Maybe not great for the corn harvest as they seem to love leaving the auger out as they fill the cart so fast. We use two Elmer's 2500 bushel carts with tracks and right auger we love them.

Because it’s the way that works the best. We had a right hand unload for two years and no one liked it. Went back to a left hand.

Cause it’s outta the way of the combine

Neighbor knocked the auger off the combine not once but twice, I get the idea butt's a bad idea.

@@randeraerae operator error.

@@brent9393 most videos I've seen, the auger is folded when chasing combine, even on lefthand carts.

Yes, that is a slight design change. 35 Foot Pounds of torque on the lower nut and the upper jam nut.

The assistant only needs to press the brake hard enough to turn on the brake lights

Tom, There is a venturi built in the system to create vacuum

Good morning, the 6175 is only for use with a Ford Truck equipped with the Ford Factory Goose Neck / 5th Wheel Prep Package in Ford F-250/F-350’s built 2011-2023. If the truck does not have a puck system, Demco has the frame brackets and the rails to install a 5th wheel hitch into the truck. The frame bracket kit is part number 8552040 for a 2023 Ford F250. The bed rails are part number 6071. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call at (800) 543-3626. Thank you!

Thank you kindly!

We can't speak for all tow dollies, but we will speak to Demco’s Kar Kaddy Tow Dollies. Demco Kar Kaddy’s have a max tow capacity of 4,800 pounds. Our tongue weight is only approximately 100 pounds. We center the front axle of the towed vehicle directly over the tow dolly axle to handle the weight of the towed vehicle. The Kar Kaddy has a 3,500 pound axle weight rating. Depending on dolly model, they weigh approximately 675 - 700 pounds empty. (3,500 Axle Capacity - 700 pounds empty = 2,800 pounds of carrying capacity on the tow dolly.) The user of the dolly has to keep both the max tow capacity and the 3,500 pound axle weight capacity in mind. You are correct, the general rule is 60/40 for front wheel drive vehicles. 60% of the weight is on the front axle. If your vehicle is at the max weight capacity 4,800 pounds, using the 60/40 rule, we could potentially be right at the tow dolly axle weight limit. 4,800 x .60 = 2,880 pounds - keep in mind we do have about 100 pounds of tongue weight. If the vehicle has a heavier front/rear axle split than the 60/40 rule of thumb, a user could overload that axle of the tow dolly. The above figures are the Demco Kar Kaddy limitations. The user also has to review the coach limitations as well. If the coach limitations are less than the dolly capacity, then the user is limited to the coach towing capacity. We hope that clears things up.

Please call our customer service line at 1.800.543.3626. We're here 8-4:30 Monday-Friday (central time). We'll see if we can help you troubleshoot this or point you in the right direction.

Glad it was helpful!

For anti-theft purposes, yes. However for safety purposes, it is not necessary. This is built into the design.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback!

Demco does not recommend dolly or dinghy towing the new Chevrolet Corvette C8. Please reference the “Recreational Vehicle Towing” section of your vehicle’s owner’s manual. It will state: CAUTION Dolly Towing or dinghy towing the vehicle may cause damage because of reduced ground clearance. Always put the vehicle on a flatbed truck or trailer. We hope that helps answer your question.

You are correct. This is a legacy product.

Yes this is a new reed switch the instruction and wiring diagram cam be found in the current installation manual on our web site. cdn.demco-products.com/documents/Manuals/TB20050.pdf

With a front-wheel-drive car and the front wheels of the car on the dolly, the car must be in the park.

We do not require a safety pin to be utilized when you are hooked up using our EZ Latch coupler, therefore, we do not offer one. If you’d prefer to use one you still can, but it is not required. There are different options available through different coupler lock manufacturers. One lock that works well with our couplers is an anti-theft-purpose pin made by Trimax. Their part number is TC123. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Yes we do! Please call us at (800) 543.3626 and ask for Dave for more info.

The answer is yes, adding a battery disconnect to the positive post of the battery would stop any type of battery draw. It would not be necessary to add a disconnect on both terminals.

Hi ElectroMan, our dollies are designed for front-wheel drive vehicles. Many states have law prohibiting backwards towing of a vehicle. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

The rubber grommet and taillight are not proper seated in the housing if the customer is stating it is loose and falling out. Could you let us know your email address? We have a flyer that will help you with some tips on this.

Pitiful. They had 1 comment and couldn't even reply to it.

Yes, the auto slide will move the trailer back away from the cab in both forward and reverse direction.

@@DemcoProducts Any plans of them building a higher weight rated version of this? Above 21K would be nice

By disconnecting the negative battery terminal, the towed vehicle’s modules have the ability to pick up a stray ground from the coach. As you are connected to the coach with the towbar the towed vehicle will use this connection to pick up a ground. Remember with the basic 12V system voltage finds the path to least resistance.
