DMI bumper
Hey All"
Looking at buying a mid 90s F-250. I'm looking to buy it to tow a car and open trailer.
It has a DMI spring loaded bumper on it. I've never seen anyone tow a car trailer with one of those. Is it possible to use this, or would I have to yank it off and buy a conventional bumper and hitch?
I couldn't find a website for DMI, so I am unable to really find out what this bumper is for. I've been told it's a "farm bumper" good for "gravity wagons" but I don't know what the hell that means. Gravity wagons sounds like something out of the Jetsons.
Any help appreciated

DMI bumpers are frame mounted. You would be crazy to use a plain bumper hitch to pull farm equipment or anything else for that matter.
Here is a link to the new DMI bumpers: http://www.unitedtruckparts.com/products/QuicCushn2.htm
Tow 14,000lbs with up to 1400lbs tongue weight.

We just didn't have a need for them anymore. The only thing we pull off the hitch anymore is anhydrous tanks. Everything else is fifth wheel or too big to be pulling behind an F350. We have a Peterbilt's and a low boy for the big stuff.
