Just installed the JD rear receiver hitch and I'm very happy with it. I wanted to have a rear receiver to be able to use a atv rear cargo rack to carry a 25 gal. sprayer. The directions that came with it showed it bolted underneath the hitch plate but after mounting it there and looking at it, it hung down to low for what I wanted. With the bolt patern you can mount it on top so that's what I did.
I think it makes more sence to be on top and should be stronger sitting on top of the hitch plate vs hanging below it and you can still use the stock hitch hole.
The receiver itself is the exact same peice that is welded into the front bumper same length, holes and everything. They just welded the same peice to a plate instead of the bumper.
Here are a couple of pics and a bonus pic of my youngest of 4, Cullen who is 10 months old and hopefully a future MTF member!:thanku:
