I'd like to have the option to pull or reposition trailers, etc. with my SCUT. At the low end, I'd like to pull a small garden trailer (like a Polar?) behind the tractor to do some work. In the middle, reposition and move my small dump trailer (1,500 lbs empty, 5,000 lbs load capacity.) Ideally, I'd also like to be able to reposition a toy hauler RV is possible, although maybe that is pushing the limits of a SCUT.

What sort of options are available? I'm looking for something that would add a standard 2" receiver, either front or rear.

I gave the Titan on my GC1705 and it works great. The only thing I'm not fond of is it raising up the 3PH when there is negative tongue weight. For example when loading or unloading my ATV.

Thanks for the responses. The price of that one for the BX can't be beat, but I didn't like the offset trailer ball nor that it doesn't easily handle larger than a 2" ball.

I found these .... which takes a receiver hitch. So in addition to a trailer ball I could use a hook or other similar item. Still not sure which to buy ...

I bolted a receiver to the bottom on my ballast box, so I can handle negative tongue weight up to the weight I am carrying.

The problem with a TLB is no 3pt access when you have the backhoe on. So I bolt on unit for the front might work well.

Thanks, I just ordered that one. Using a 2" receiver and having the hook welded in fits my needs perfectly. Looks very well made.

Yeah, they do a nice job, and even the packing/shipping is top notch. I think you'll like it.
