Default 2004 Big Bear Hitch?

NEWBIE!!!! Will a 2004 Big Bear take a trailer hitch? I am wanting to buy one to possibly till/disc up land in addition to riding. Just curious if the 2004 Big Bear 2x4 can have attachments hooked to it. Thanks for any help!!!

A little confused by your question. My 2003 has a hitch that is part of the rear axle housing. Does your Big Bear have independent rear suspension? I thought that was a 2005 and up thing. My manual lists pulling capacity of 904 pound-feet, and tongue weight of 33 pound-feet.

Hope this helps.

You buy a ball 1-7/8 or 2" for $10 and put it on. Never heard of a Big Bear with no place to mount a ball already on it.

Must be a straight axle if its a 2004. Never seen a utility ATV of any kind that did not have a trailer hitch from the factory.

Thats odd only 904lbs towing rating, the smaller 350 Grizzly/Bruin has a belt and no low range and is rated for 1,102 lbs. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outdoor/...0/0/specs.aspx
