pbradley68 1 #1 Posted December 17, 2009 Does anyone know of 2" receiver that doesn't just bolt onto the rear slot hitch like THIS but instead ties into either the frame and/or axle? I'm looking for it because I saw a Kolpin ATV 3 point hitch with a 12V electric actuator lift system that mounts to a 2" receiver on the Wal-Mart site for $399 (currently out of stock) that looks interesting.

sawhorse 0 #2 Posted December 18, 2009 I know of no manufacturer of the device you mentioned. There is, however, another sleeve hitch setup on ebay made by the guy that makes the hot dog roasters. These units have downpressure and 200+ pound lift capacity. I am impressed with the capability of these units. There are videos of these in use on youtube. Here is another opportunity for someone to fabricate and market a product. It would be a fairly simple job to fabricate a bracket to attach a two inch reciever to a wheel horse transmission. I would have done it, but I found the wheel horse clevis hitch first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbradley68 1 #4 Posted December 19, 2009 i made this one that is from aleft over reese hitch i had I have a left over Jeep hitch that is very similar to yours that I could cut up. Can you please elaborate some on how it connects to the axle? From the photos and don't see any bolts. I'm guessing it bolts to something from within the square tubing that I can't see? thanks, Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #5 Posted December 19, 2009 i will take pics tomorow eve,the reese bolts to angle iron that bolts on the plow bracket bolts,the angle looks back towards the rear and then turns 90 degrees downward,then i drilled the angle iron and the reese hitch on the back and joined them,the weight also rests against the rear end so not all the stress goes on the bolts,althuogh it doesnt have too,the bolts are plenty strong that hold the plow on,you can use the plow and every thing other than the factory hitch,i buy 2 inch tube and make what ever hitch i need,a ball,a flat bar with a hole to pull things that require a pin,im sure u get the idea that once a receiver is ther the possibilities are endless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #6 Posted December 19, 2009 here is a pic of the hitch,not the best but look close and you can see the angle iron on top of the axle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
