Question:
I see this has a 2inch receiver. Does that mean it comes with a hitch ball, or do I need to add one separately?

Good question, Mark - this trips a lot of folks up. The 2 inch measurement refers to the square receiver's opening on the bucket receiver # e75ZV, meaning it accepts any standard 2 inch shank ball mount, just like a truck hitch. The actual hitch ball and ball mount isn’t included, since ball size depends on your trailer’s coupler 2, 2-5/16, etc. and most people already have one that they use to tow with.
If you’re moving different trailers around the farm or jobsite, a really handy pairing is the etrailer adjustable ball mount # e66PR, which fits this receiver and includes both 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch balls. That way you’re covered without swapping hardware.
What kinds of trailers are you planning to move with it?

Got it, that makes sense. I’ve got a couple utility trailers with different couplers, so that adjustable ball mount sounds like the way to go. Appreciate the clarification.
