Curt Manufacturing 83750 18800 Lb Cap 5/8 In Forged D-Ring W/Bracket Review

Bought two of these and welded them on the front bolt-on mount of our New Holland tractor yesterday to have some areas to allow us to chain it down better on a trailer. These things are nice and beefy. The mounts you weld on have a notch cut out so you can really get your weld to penetrate both surfaces and give you a solid weld giving you a result of a strongly attached d-ring now on your application. I liked these so much I'm probably going to get two more and attach them to the rear of the tractor since it doesn't have good points to chain down to. I didn't do it, but just make sure that you put your d-ring in the mount before welding it on :D

Curt Manufacturing 45824 Tow Strap Ball Mount Review

This is a very sturdy mount. The bar is a solid piece of steel and the D-ring is thick and solid as well. The towing capacity for this mount will easily exceed any towing rating on a non-commercial vehicle (and probably most commercial vehicles as well). The mounting bar fits snugly in my 2"x2" receiver tube and doesn't rattle around.
I gave it a four-star rating because of the price. At the price I paid at the time of purchase it was more than twice the cost of other similar mounts. Also, I really didn't care for the orange painted D-ring which came all scratched up. I swapped out that D-ring for a silver D-ring and kept the orange one for potential use on a vehicle in need of recovery.
Other similar recovery mounting bars are shorter in length and leaves the D-ring sitting closer to your bumper. This Curt mount bar is a little longer and sticks out a bit from your bumper. I prefer a tighter fit leaving the D-ring sitting closer to my bumper, but others may disagree.
All in all, a great solid recovery mount that should last longer than the life-time factory warranty that covers it.

Mad Dog Three-Way ATV Receiver Hitch Review

Mad Dog Three-Way ATV Receiver Hitch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned this hitch for several years. It has served me well.
I live in the mountains and my ATV is an essential survival tool (even if I don't venture into the wilderness).
This unit is solid steel and chromium steel construction. It can handle any load that any ATV can handle. The tongue weight limit on my ATV (a Honda Foreman)is 300 pounds. There is nothing I can load into my little trailer that this hitch will not handle.
The only problem with this hitch is a minor design flaw. If I try to use the trailer for hauling dirt, this hitch is not designed to allow for the weight.
The problem is that this bolts on to the ATV receiver and, with enough resistance, will simply swivel the hitch if the load is too heavy.
If I put 1500 pounds of dirt in my trailer, it will not exceed the tongue weight for the ATV receiver, however, the bolt on design of this hitch will cause it to swivel on the receiver while trying to back up. This causes jacknifing when hitched to very heavy loads and I haven't yet found a way around it.
Nevertheless, I gave it five stars because: (1) it is a very versatile design; and (2) the steel is very heavy; and (3) the welds are very, very solid.

Fits my 2010 Polaris ATV's factory hitch receiver perfectly, and is exactly what I needed / wanted. It tows my John Deere trailer, drags tarps full of branches / leaves, and can even move light trailers around the yard with it.

Grip Tri-Ball Trailer Hitch Mount With Tow Hook Review

Grip Tri-Ball Trailer Hitch Mount With Tow Hook

I bought this hitch because I got tired of changing balls on my hitch when I went from my boat to the trailer. This seemed like the perfect solution, until I went to use the 2" ball. The hole for the receiver pin is placed too far back on the shaft so I can not use the two inch ball of this hitch.
A simple solution would be to unscrew one and move the 2" to one of the sides I can use but these balls are welded on.
This product does not do what I bought it for.
