Make sure your hitch is up to par and in good shape. :D

I have seen those, but no experience with them. I guess they would work fine...the hitch should see it no different than a trailer with about 350-450lbs of tongue weight.

I thought about one of those too, but it seems like it would be a lot of stress on the hitch like that. Most trailors are not producing that much weight on the tongue of the trailor, they have the load evened out on the trailor itself most of the time.. just my .02:)

My friend uses one for his dirtbike, and it works great. I imagine the ATV version works just as well if your hitch can support it.

jonny, what truck did you pull it with? 1/2 or 3/4 ton?

i wanted one of those, but everyone talked me out of it. i still think it would be ok for short trips or a real small quad, but if you think about it the CG of the quad would be 2-3ft behind the receiver. so is isnt like having the quad weight as tounge weight, its actually more cause the 2-3ft of leverage.
