I built a custom front receiver hitch for a Polaris Sportsman 500. There wasn’t much to mount to, so I fabricated a custom bracket, welded the receiver hitch to it, and made the entire assembly removable with two 5/8” bolts. The owner wanted a front hitch because of a bad back. Now he can look forward while towing and while backing his dock into the water instead of constantly turning around. #Polaris #PolarisSportsman #ATV #Welding #Fabrication #ReceiverHitch #DIY #MetalFabrication #USA #americanmade

I am the customer, he did a remarkable job with this project. This was way beyond my expectations. I can’t thank you enough. I do have a bad back and needed to have my hitch face forward so I can push my dock in instead of twisting my body and backing it in. Very much appreciated.
Front hitches for backing in trailers is the bomb. Campers into camping spots, trailers into garages and shops, times when you need to be precise like that, freakin bomb.
My dad passed last year. He was a welder fabricator most of his career. Watching your videos makes me think of my dad. Thank you.
People have wondered why I have a receiver on the front of my truck... until they see me use it. Great video!
Good work dude. You are one of the best teachers I’ve seen on here 🤙 I appreciate the schooling
I like that the final bracket was shown before the details of how it was fabricated. I wish more YouTube creators would follow this example.
That's pretty neat! I don't need one, but if I had an atv - I'd surely make one too, now that I've seen this.
That is awesome
It's great to see your wealth of knowledge and techniques applied to such a useful application. Really enjoyed seeing the whole process from start to problem solved. Great work!
Loved seeing this.
As a retired tradesman I love watching you explain and solve problems. Awesome channel!!
Sweet project. Definitely a plus for the quad
I love this. Breaking it down into simple steps makes it seem more approachable.
Awesome. Great project and use of a bunch of the examples you guve
Nice work sir
I'm kind of glad you showed it on action!
That's it for this one. We'll see you on the next. Yes please!!!!
Thing of beauty! Fantastic video. Great illustration of start to finish!
I have my grandpas 1973 Jeep CJ5 that has a tow hitch on the front. He said it made it really easy for him to park an RV in a tight spot.
First time I saw a front style like this was at sprint boat races! All the trucks quads even golf carts had them! Yes turning and twisting around sucks to be able to see, but the boats are like the size of big jet skis so its hard no matter what. But airplanes have been using this style of towing and towout for years just a matter of time before its standard on most if not all off road or suv type vehicles
