I would think towing a groomer? I have installed receiver hitches on the front and back to attach the winch to. I would think up that high would not give you good pull and probably would not be strong enough.

I like the color.

Do you have any snow to play in where you are ?

Looks almost too pretty to run in the woods with. I would think the ball was for a gooseneck style wood trailer. Seems all the real cold air is bottled up over the Arctic this year. Even the lakes are barely getting snow.

That idea makes sense Muley. It would centre the weight on the bombi.
OT.
