Can the hitch be rotated? I read that the shank that rotates/folds and can be used or not used. Does that mean that I can insert it upside down? For instance if I have a hitch that is vertical, can I flip the shank and have it point DOWN? If so, is it just as sturdy in both orientations? Why you ask? I have a hitch on the back of my tractor that is vertical and I'd like another basket to use there. Can the hitch be rotated? I read that the shank that rotates/folds and can be used or not used.

Think so. Everything is held in place with heavy pins so shouldn't matter if you rotate it 180degrees when you assemble it

Interesting question. The folding hinge is removable, so it can be mounted "upside down" for your tractor application, because the hitch bar is square. So yes, I think it will work for you

Not sure what you have in mind. You normally put accessory units above the receiver and it does not interefere with towing. Below the hitch would make it impossible to tow simultaneously. Hope this helps.

If you mean can you back your trailer up with the hitch attached to your truck and trailer the answer is yes. The stabilizer arms move back and forth in order to turn the trailer. It is important to put the brackets at the proper length on the trailer to allow this motion.

I mounted the box backwards so the concave of box faced to the rear of quad, box opens when standing at rear of quad, hinge side towards front of quad. The 6gallon can fits in the concave of box and straps to box and leaves box functional with out having to remove gas can. If you ride 2 person on quad you will not want to mount box backwards. Hope this helps we love the box holds both our winter gear and room for groceries. I would not recommend hauling gas cans in box with your gear incase of leaks or rollover. Dan & Vickey. Do yourself a favor and go to Gilbert WV for October trail fest we went and had a blast !!!!

the reel cannot be turned over as there is a plate where the shaft is or the shaft opening is not the same on both sides. I mounted the yard butler where i turn with right hand and guide with left. I love my yard butler.

I do not have the hitch as this location at this time, but this was a problem with me and what i did was put put the hitch onto the ATV 'upside down' which lowered it effectively.BHM

I do not think you will have a problem as the hitch goes onto the axle through the quick release skewers. Keep in mind that this is a wide trailer and should only be used on trails and off busy roads. We used it once on the Elroy-Sparta trail in Wisconsin. I am not sure how many more times I will use it we may keep it as we have a local rail to trail path here and we can haul food for a picnic. Otherwise we may want to sell it.

The wheel hoops can fold up and stand vertically when bikes are not loaded. When extended, the entire rack can be tilted back to allow entrance to a trunk/hatchback/whatever...even with the bikes loaded. It does not fold up flush with the trunk/hatchback/etc. under any circumstance. It is without a doubt the best designed and most useable bike rack I have seen...no exceptions.

the two sides where the wheels sit fold from horizontal (position bike is in when being used) to vertical. the vertical center piece that has the slides that hold the bike frame folds down to the horizontal postion away from the hitch mount to allow you to open the tailgate and to help install the inner bike. for storage you would fold the two horizonal pieces up so you have all 3 pieces vertical.

Yes, the hitch tilts back, it has a pulley pin on the back really simple to open.

I'd say that's the wrong description for this item. When I bought it nothing like that was in the description. No hinge, buckle, cam etc. It is just what you see in the picture. No hitch pin, get a locking pin otherwise you won't have it long.

Make sure you have the rack installed properly in your hitch. It seems like it goes either way, but it doesn't. This happened to me, and I reversed the position and now it is as solid as a rock. We put two mountain bikes on with no problem, but they have to face opposite directions. Also, the rack pivots down if you pull the lower lever for ease of getting the bikes in the holders.

The extension rotates to desired forward/backward & up/down 360 degrees. The hinge rotates 360 degrees for desired folded angle, and the pad/peg rotates for desired angle to match shoe/boot angle. Best pegs I ever used! If you buy these get some loktite or other thread locker so when you find the ideal setup you should dab some thread locker and reassemble them. I've found vibration tends to loosen the bolts so I carried along a set of allen wrenches until I had the best angles/setups on mine.

You shouldn't have any problems using that hitch as long as it is even. We had that hitch and had it removed because it was not even so the bike rack was tilted. Other than that it would have worked fine. If you're still not sure you can call the company to get details. They have a guy that can give you answers. It's an awesome hitch, works we'll and looks great

Yeah, you'll just need to take the inner sliding part out and flip it over. You'll also need a ball mount for the hitch that goes on the other side.

When stop is mounted with one hole on top and 2 on bottom, then stop 'locks' into place in the up position. I guess you could flip it around, but when you want it 'up' I dont think it will lock in place for you.

Im sorry I do not know what you mean by shank.If you are talking about the ball I bought mine seperate,the hitch itself is 2 inch
