What is the factory tow point on a Foreman 450? can it take a standard tow ball or do you need some kind of receiver? I am buying a 450es and I want to be able to move my trailers around my yard.

I put a 2" receiver on my 450es. I bought it from Dennis Kirk. It was a simple install and worked great.
I used to pull my 21ft boat in and out of the water with the 450.

I saw that on Dennis Kirk, I am asking if you can put a tow ball directly onto the factory hitch point on the Foreman, or do you have to buy an adapter. I only need to pull a utility trailer around my property.

Yes you can put a 2" ball on the factory receiver. It has to be the smaller shank.

If you are just moving things around your yard, a 1-7/8" ball will work fine for all your trailers. That's all the trailer shop uses around their yard, even for 2"+ trailer hitches and it will save you time and $.

Wal-Fart has both 1-7/8 and 2 inch ***** with the small shank. I put 2" on my Recon and Bayou 220. Went right on.
