This is the first trailer I built with a walking beam axle. It turned out alot heavier than I wanted but tows really well. Does anybody know of rotating hitch assembly that could be added?

Go with a pintle set up and you should be fine.
Syncrowave 250DX
Invison 354MP
XR Control and 30A
Airco MED20 feeder
Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 81
Smith O/A rig
And more machinery than you can shake a 7018 rod at

Walking Beam Axle
Thumpergman--The best way I can think of a walking beam is, a tandem wheeled trailer that revolves around a single axle. Thank-You Fishy Jim for the pintle hook idea--that should work really well.

You can also make a rotating pintle mount pretty easily as well if you need even more off camber ability. The military has some like that you could use for ideas.

they used them on the old military jeep trailers. I have a pintel on my grizzly and also my Rhino they are muchbeter than a ball mount.Every question in life has an answer of
YES OR NO
Maybe = NO

no worries
the pintel is superior if you can get the spring setup for the hoop side you are unlimited on rotation, makes for unlimited articulation.
