The Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 that you referenced is designed for use on pick-up trucks to carry a kayak over the truck bed, but could work well to carry your kayak on your Yamaha Rhino UTV with 2 inch hitch receiver. We will want to take a quick measurement to determine the compatibility of the load extender with your UTV.

The hitch-mounted extension is adjustable vertically from 42 inches to 64 inches above the top of the hitch opening. If the roof height of your UTV falls within this range from the top of the hitch opening, the kayak carrier will work well for you. If your roof height is less than 42 inches from the top of the hitch opening, it will mean that the kayak will not be able to be carried level.
