Can you put a standard tow ball on a 2002+ foreman ES with the need of some kind of receiver?

 

I believe the axle hitch is sufficient to tow anything you would want to, within reason. It was heavy enough to do anything I needed around my place. Firewood , boat,mower-- it pulled 'em all. Mine was a 2K, but the rear axle is the same.

 

you sure can. the foreman will even pull a small travel trailer, 25ft or less, around an rv lot!! just watch for that front end to come up

 

I towed an INGERSOLRAND construction site lighting plant with mine with no problems!!

 

Helped a friend move two deer stands today with my Foreman. I use a standard 2" ball in the hole provided with the ATV. We pull a small trailer and then tilt the deer stand over onto the trailer and then haul it through the forest anywhere we want. The stands weigh probably 500lbs. We were tilting one of the stands back, up which put weight on the back of the trailer. I looked back and the rear tires on my Foreman were up in the air about 12 inches. My friend said "well we now know the hitch on a Foreman is strong.".

I have also pulled trucks out of mud holes with it, pulled boats, even plowed my food plot at my deer stand with it this year. It will pull just about anything.
