04 Foreman hitch options

[JScott]

Does anyone know of a "frame" type receiver hitch for these machines? It seems like a long shot looking at how little is back there. The kolpin three way I've been using just extends off the stock hitch and that only has a 35 lb limit (which I've exceeded many times). The machine pulls fine but i feel like im pushing the hitch a little too much. Pulling pontoon and 18 foot Lund around the yard, barn, etc...during spring and fall. Sure don't want to break that weld off the axle.

Just picked up another kolpin 2 inch tube receiver but that just bolts to the stock hitch as well. Might return it if I can find something a little beefier.

I agree with the being a little light back there. What I did was find a scrap piece of flat metal and drilled a hole thru one end and put the pin of the kolpin hitch reciever through it and the upper end I drilled a couple holes and put a U clamp thru it and over a cross member under the seat to beef it up. I see some pretty heavy duty hitch recievers on some of the ones equipped from the factory. I figured it had to help. Maybe I should just take it to the welding shop and have a piece on each side welded on.
