I had a truck bumper to brace against.
Often, one is not available.

Where else do you install hitch balls?

You might be surprised. I know of an articulated tractor or two that use a
2" hitch ball and bulldog style coupler for the lower pivots!
Also know of at least three boat cranes that are using 2 5/16" balls for
the wheel pivots so they can travel rougher ground without problems.

Just teasing. I salvaged the handle from a broken snow shovel and attached a
hitch ball and bicycle training wheel bracket.
