ATV THREE -WAY RECEIVER HITCH
WITH BALL MOUNT & PIN PULL HITCH INSERT & TOW LOOP
IPI Innovative Products Intl. - USA.

Use a ball mount or pin pull hitch without changing hitches. Receiver fits all ATVs that accept a trailer ball and installs easily. Utilizes a standard 2" hitch box and will not affect ground clearance, while the insert is reversible for trailer hitch height adjustment. Heavy-duty powder-coated metal construction. Ball not included. 

I used this hitch for the first time this weekend and it stood up to some rough abuse. I took the chain that I had hook to my drag for food plot and looped it through the TOW LOOP and around the ball. This made for easy off and on application. The only difference is I mounted mine with the ring up.
 

Polaris Magnum 325 4x4 2000 model

Polaris Magnum 325 4x4 2000 model is something I would recommend for the weekend hunter. After hauling several deer out of the middle of woods in places I would not want to drag a deer up. I held my recommendation until planting season this year. It never missed a beat over hilly rugged in the middle of no where food plots. I used a drag instead of bush hog. It may not have been as good but it still got the job done and ate right through the briars, tall weeds and small saplings in the existing food plots. What makes the Magnum special is its rugged versatility. Hunting, farming, trail riding. You name it, Magnum does it. Will use a single row planter from NWTF later in the year, so check back and I will let you know how it does.

ATV SEEDER

Broadcast seeding and spreading can be accomplished efficiently with this Seeder/Spreader. Whether your spreading feed, seed, fertilizer, or other materials, this 75-pound capacity Seeder/Spreader is ideal for the task. It mounts on the rear rack and rack extenders must be removed.

I had the dealer install it for a more professional wiring system. It took 3 hours to get food plots planted. It normally took us from daylight to dark and into the next day. The price is a little steep, but it held up very well. I planted, milo, sunflowers, and clover never had a problem. I only put 50 lbs. in at a time. It says rack extenders must be removed. Not sure why, they suggest that. I have the short rack extenders and it fit right over it. The only thing that might make it better is to have turn knobs to allow you to take it off instead of having to use a wrench. Either way wish I had the ATV and Seeder years ago when I first started working on food plots.
