Review on Kolpin Universal IRS Receiver Hitch by Star Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Also works great with a compact John Deere tractor!

I have a 2020 John Deere 2025R compact tractor and was looking for a cost effective front hitch solution. I tried this ATV hitch and it works great. I was able to install it on the front of my tractor with no modifications or additional parts other than 4 nuts/bolts. There was space between the back of the mounting plate and the front of the tractor and I could have installed the screws the other way to look more "finished" but I didn't care so I took the easier route and installed them. as you see them in the photo. I have a front loader on my tractor and as you can see in the photo there is a large gap between the front loader boom and the receiver when the boom is in the down position. I am using an OPENROAD 2" Class III/IV hitch with a three ball hitch and a hollow stem hitch, but I need to keep the loader arm up when attaching the hitch. However, it only takes about 5 seconds to put the clutch on and off and I only use the clutch occasionally so this is the perfect solution for me. One of my frequent uses is to quickly move a large utility trailer to hard-to-reach spots on my property.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
