Northeast Indiana (Auburn)
Don't count on the ball for a ground. When the trailer is about empty dumping the weight of the load left will for a second or two lift the hitch up off the ball causing all of the small ground wires on the truck handle the pump motor grounding. I burnt up several cab to frame, frame to battery wires before I figured out what caused them to melt. Thats why I added a second welder cable from the battery to the trailer for a ground. I had a grain trailer that when going up the grain would slide to the tail gate and build up as the grain was going out the small grain chute causing the front to lift. If you open the back up then dump like you will with chicken litter you should not have that problem.
