Rear bumper with a hitch for skimmer?

[Jaynelson]

I feel like a genius starting another f'ing bumper thread.....but all of the popular options (both on here and the google) don't seem to have an option for a hitch. I'm hoping for something of good quality/strength, that still looks decent.

The Polaris bumper w/hitch looks pretty generic and doesn't appear to extend down the tunnel sides AT ALL....don't think that's a good idea for obvious reasons. Does it look any better in person, or are my worries justified - ?

I only want one to occasionally pull a skimmer, and not a heavily loaded one at that. Yes I know it's not the best sled for towing stuff.

I have no idea if these are any good, and I guess the price is high enough also, at least afte shipping, but here is one option.

Thanks man....agreed, 250 pounds + exchange + shipping from Europe= ouch.

I'll keep sniffing around...seems like a rare item!

If i am not misstaken you should not have to pay the 25% VAT when shipping it outside Sweden so the price should be 165 Euro, (roughly 200USD I think) + shipping.

(select price excl. VAT in the top right corner)

Still not sheap though.....
