I saw this on Amazon it looks like it might be a good addition to my 550 S4 only $30.00. Does anyone use something like this. 2711 Looks like it would be nice for pulling rather than winching.

I use one all the time....it works great on my 825i and I used one on my RTV 500 before that. Just remember to put the thumb screw up not down so you don't loose it if it comes loose :Thmup:

Well I got my Hitch. My daughter and son-in-law gave it to me for Christmas. Got it installed and waiting for a reason to use it.

I got mine (a Smitty built) just before Christmas. I have used it once to drag a partially fallen tree down.

Bunky I'm hoping this weekend I'll find some drift wood to pull out of the sand. :Ysnd: Mine is a Smitty Built also. You have the 825i right? Lot more power than my 550.

When I get into my Gator fear falls upon the Island and time stands still / Just the roar of that mighty 16 HP engine sends chills up the spine of EVIL. Nothing can excape. Speeding down the highway at the break neck speed of 28 MPH my winch rapping against my front bumper and now my hitch flapping freely. Oh what a awsome and fearful sight. Spectators run for cover in there homes hoping it's not them that has cause the fearsome Gator 550 XUV S4 to come out of it's lair. The Island is safe!!!

29302929I have my winch up front but I have no place to put the Smitty built hitch or I'd add another.
