Default Brute force 2" receiver hitch

Can anyone tell me who makes the best 2" receiver hitch for a 2010 bruteforce 750? I see moose, koplin & promark make them. They all look different in the way they attach. I will need a strong one because occasionally I will be moving a 16' enclosed trailer in my yard. I know it will move it because I have used a craftsman garden tractor in the past to move it. I also might mount a sander in the hitch for winter snow removal duties. Thanks in advanced.

You are much braver than me if you are moving a 16ft enclosed trailer around with your quad...that is a lot of tounge weight on the quad. I use my quad to pull my 18 ft flat trailer, but use a set of wheels right under the ball to carry the weight and then hook that up to my quad.

Sometimes the diagrams or pictures for parts aren't the same as they are in real life. I would recommend moose because I have had good experiences with their products.

The trailer is actually 20' total length but it is a tandem axle. Seems the extra axle helps with the tongue weight. I only move it 30' in the spring and 30' in the fall. So, only twice a year.

any 2" hitch you have listed above will work- your atv will never even come close to pulling the max weight a 2" hitch is rated for- even a cheap chinese made one..

The trailer usually only has a motorcycle in it for winter storage so it probably weighs around 3000#'s. it is only rolling on pavement. I currently move it with a craftsman riding mower. I just move it slow to keep it in control.

I just figured I have no use for the tractor as long as the atv will pull the trailer. Other than that, the tractor was only used for sidewalk plowing but the atv now has a plow. Just wanted to consolidate and make some room in the garage. If the atv won't move the trailer, I can always keep the tractor.
