So pleased with this rear hitch. It’s how my 2025r should have come from the factory.
Reused the original bolts, factory plate and used thread locker. No reason to toss the original plate as it adds weight and strength in that low area. As TTWT says Heavy Hitch solves problem with the OEM set up.

I bought this for my 1025R. Looks much better than the crap plate that JD had factory on the tractor. I have used it to pull my sprayer, aerator, and thatcher. Worked great on all applications. I also used it with a loop insert in the receiver to drag a thousand pound rock. No problem. Fit and finish is excellent like ALL Heavy Hitch products.

Bolted right on to pull my leaf vac. Very strong with perfect welds and finish. This is better built then my GM factory receiver. Nice, very nice.

I got my receiver hitch and installed it. Fit very well. Have used multiple times. It works great giving me the additional clearance that I was looking for.

Makes for a versatile rear tow option. Being low center of gravity and bolted on I think it will be better option of heavy towing and pulling. Think it will work great for pulling stumps, will report back. Bought the multiple option receiver insert with ball, hook and pull hoop. Should work great.

Received my new receiver hitch yesterday. Well packaged and shipped quickly. I installed it on new 2025r today. Well built, sturdy and nicely finished. Mine did not include the heavy hitch decal, but that probably would have gotten scratched up pretty quickly anyway.
