Answer 4

Svc x 1.4

Question 5

If your load is choked does it change the formula to estimate your hitch capacity using field factor ?

Answer 5

Yes

Choke value x field factor

Question 6

If you have a bridle basket what is the formula to estimate hitch capacity using field factors

Answer 6

Svc x field factor x field factor

Question 7

What is the formula for a single vertical hitch

Answer 7

Hitch capacity = SVC

Question 8

What is the hitch capacity formula for a true basket or bridle with vertical legs

Answer 8

HC = SVC x 2

Question 9

What is the formula for the hitch capacity of an inclined leg basket or a bridle with inclined legs

Answer 9

HC = SVC X 2 X H/L

Question 10

What is he formula for a hitch capacity of a bridle basket

Answer 10

HC = SVC X 2 X H/L X 2 X H/L

Question 11

What is the formula to determine the hitch capacity of a bridle choke more than 45 degrees

Answer 11

HC = SVC x .75 x 2 x H/L

Question 12

What is the formula to determine the hitch capacity of a bridle choke less than 45 degrees

Answer 12

HC = SVC X A/B x 2 x H/L

Question 13

What is the formula to determine hitch capacity of a single choke more than 45 degrees

Answer 13

HC = SVC X .75

Question 14

What is the formula to determine the hitch capacity of a single choke less than 45 degrees

Answer 14

HC = SVC x A/B
