That's a "Dale Philips" brand. They make almost good stuff. The four
"bumpers" (the cast pieces on the not-nut ends of the the shafts) all
broke within the first fifty hours of operation. I also have a Dale
Philips 10' shredder that had drive shafts that wouldn't handle the
needed power.

I think the twisted A frame came from loosing a bolt which probably
broke because of the weight of the rail dangling while in transit.

My education on real truck farming equipment is sadly lacking. Please
help.
