Default Raptor tow hitch!!!!

Sad but true
I need my 01 Raptor to perform a bit of a dual role, sounds strange but I need to somehow fit a towing hitch/ball to it.
Has anyone ever came across similar or got any ideas of what might be the easiest solution??

Probably sounds strange but we do things a bit different in Scotland!!

You got a link for that hitch? I've been thinking about it this summer .. would make a nice winter project to make a lightweight trailer for the Warrior. I'm tired to finding places to strap my **** onto the Warrior, and then having to unstrap it all when I come to a pit for play time on those longer overnight rides .... a trailer would the the idea solution .. hook on and go, dump and play, hook on and go ..

If you got any info on it I'd appreciate it very very much!!!

I had a few tabs or "ears" welded on my stock arm for a wheelie bar mount. I would think you could get a few tabs welded on the bottom and make a simple bar with a hole to mount on and off when needed. Just need to find a good Aluminum welder. Hell you may even be able to rig something simple up off one of the heavier duty skid plates if you weren't going to be pulling a HEAVY load...

Just some thoughts...

Later,
Mike

BTW... Welcome to the forums!

I have a hitch on my Warrior. I have a Swisher Mower deck that I mow my lawn with. Works just fine.

As far as I know, and I did reseach before I bought my Warrior for this specific reason, the only sport quads that you can get hitches for are the Warrior, the 400ex, and the Z400.

Rocky Mountain ATV has them listed for the above mentioned quads.

I also saw a guy who had one on a Banshee once, but it was custom made by a shop for him.

I live in the North of Scotland near Aberdeen, no where near Ardrossan although quite a few of the guys I work with live in the Ardrossan / Ayrshire area.
