That's how they limit their liability. They have no idea what someone's welding experience may be or what or why the welding is being done, so have no control over how it may affect their hitch. So as a disclaimer, they specify no welding at all. The steel is nothing special. It can be welded and if you know what you're doing and are willing to take on that liability yourself, weld it up. If you don't know what you're doing, then don't mess with it.
