Mine came in and I have to say it's a quality piece at a bargain price.

my AC tbx comes set up with a 2" receiver, the eiger only came with a flat bar for a tow ball, fixed that with an aftermarket item from gander mtn, bolts on in the ball position but allows a 2" reciever to be used, by MAD DOG around $35

I made a dual purpose attachment similar to the ones mentioned above but with a couple of small bolts to prevent rotation. The stock hitch on my Outlander has sides that extend down and would interfere with a pin type hitch. I thought about a receiver but I didn't want the ball cantilevered out so far. I have a picture of it in my gallery.

I made one of those ebay hitches out of a piece of scrap metal. Anything scrap will work just drill a couple of holes and your done.

One of those holes is a 1.5" D shape, difficult to achieve in a typical home workshop.

True, if i was building an exact copy But i built mine with a drill press only.However its just a piece of metal that can be scrap and built for free.
That hole does not need to Be cut like it is to accept a Cleavis hook It can be a round hole. In fact I wrap my chain and hook around the ball when pulling logs with my 4x4 truck.

Just trying to contibute to some useful info to members..
