Working just fine I love it I did have to put a wobble thing on it so it don’t make all that noise but since I added that no noise and works great.

by: Robert 12/29/2018 One Year Later

The tow hitch works fine up to a certain point. the hitch adapter needs a better way of installing so as to not rotate when backing up. needs some way of locking so it remains straight. an ATV can handle the tongue weight but not a lawn tractor. so I don't recommend using it on a lawn tractor, the hitch and ball length causes the towed vehicles tongue weight to bend the lawn tractors supporting plate which in turn causes the hitch to bend down at a 45 degree nearly breaking the lawn tractors connection point. I do like that I can use it on two different types of trailer couplings. but when backing up where attached the whole hitch will rotate on the bolt no matter how tight you cinch the bolt down. for this reason I only gave it three stars.

Excellent product. Works and fits as intended. I primarily use it to move my heavy trailer around. It is truly labor saving and most likely prevented injury in that, previously I was really straining trying to move trailer by myself. If you are considering getting one...ponder no longer...get it...you will love it.

by: Chris N 12/05/2016

Received product, have not installed yet. Seems to be very well made. Hoping it will not turn on the frame of ATV under heavy towing loads when backing up. Previous hitch would turn on the frame of ATV (2004 Polaris Sportsman 500HO) even though I used a pneumatic gun to tighten the mounting bolt. Excellent service from George J despite having some issues with credit card transaction.

by: Eric 05/06/2020

Another great Curt product, including the simple slide that keeps the box from twisting. The hitch itself is also completely versatile, went from log splitter to utility trailer hitch styles very quick.

by: Lisa 09/06/2019

You have great service that is for sure!! I am in customer service myself so I have high standards when it comes to service and you have gone above and beyond! We have not used this product as we just received it but it was packaged well and it is nice and heavy duty. I googled this specific item but I will be visiting your site again!

by: Jim 02/13/2024

Package arrived partically open and was missing the receiver portion of the unit. Gave them a call and they shipped just the receiver the next day. Very happy customer.

Hitch Receiver Needed for a 2004 Honda Rincon 650cc ATV
To install a hitch receiver on your 2004 Honda Rincon 650cc ATV you can use the Curt ATV Ball Mount Adapter with Welded D-Ring # C45006 which installs by bolting on to the tongue of your ATV. This will give you a 2 inch receiver and a D-ring for any of your towing needs. If you need a hitch ball as well you can by the adapter with either a 1-7/8" hitch ball # C45029 or a 2" hitch ball # C45038.

Recommended Ball Mount With Clevis For ATV Towing
A hitch ball will give you better control for backing up your travel trailer with your ATV. I recommend the Curt Ball Mount for 2" ATV Hitches - 2" Ball and Clevis Bar - 1/4" Rise # C45009. This will give you the clevis as well as a 2 inch ball for your application. If you need the entire system, I recommend the Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit - 2" Receiver - 6" Long Ball Mount - 2" Hitch Ball # C45038.

Recommended Hitch For A 2021 Honda Recon ES ATV
We do sell some ATV hitch receivers that might fit your 2021 Honda Recon ES ATV trailer hitch. I cannot guarantee the fit, but the Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit - 2" Receiver - 6" Long Ball Mount - 2" Hitch Ball,part # C45038, is a 2" receiver with a 2" ball mount. The Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit - 2" Receiver - 6" Long Ball Mount - 1-7/8" Hitch Ball. part # C45029, is a 2" receiver with a 1-7/8" ball mount.

Easy-Grip Hitch Pin and Tow Strap for Use with Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit C45038
The Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit # C45038 is designed to work on any ATV that has a tongue area for mounting a hitch ball with a 3/4-inch hole diameter. The receiver portion with the tow strap loop uses an included 3/4-inch bolt to install in that hole. This kit includes the 5/8-inch hitch pin and clip to secure the included ball mount component into the bolt-on receiver part. This can be used with a tow strap such as the 20-foot # EM59798.

How to Determine if Curt ATV Hitch Will Fit
The Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit # C45038 may fit your 2018 Honda FourTrax Rancher though it is not designed as a specific fit for ATVs. Does your Rancher ATV have a tongue like in the accompanying photo? If so it will simply bolt onto that tongue, which is what would be required for this to fit on your Honda. I took a look at a bunch of photos of this ATV and was unable to determine if it has the tongue but a quick glance at the rear of your ATV and you should be able to tell pretty quickly. I...

Will a Ball Mount for a Vehicle Trailer Hitch Fit the Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit
The Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit # C45038 receiver portion is open at the back and with the ball mount that comes with it the measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the shank is 2-1/2 inches. This is a pretty standard distance for ball mounts. I have included a picture showing where this measurement is taken. If your ball mount has the same distance or less then it will work.
