[A/S] Re: Front Mounted Hitch



FWIW:  We have a front mounted hitch on our '99 3/4 ton Suburban as well
as a Hensley.  We use it to push the trailer into our pole barn once a
year for winter storage.  It's got to be pushed up a small incline but
it works like a champ for trying to get the trailer into a pretty tight
space with a couple of particular close angles going through the door. 
So functionally it's great for us but we're not using it extensively
for pushing either...

Most of the time, we use the hitch to carry one of those metal platforms
to bring wood with us when we camp.  We've thought about buying an
inflatable zodiac and using it to carry both that and a 9 hp motor.  We
seem to camp around water all of the time and since my husband tore his
bicep, it hasn't been worth it to travel with the kayaks.
