    Guys, I have this kind of tow bar attached to my Eskimo Quick Flip III. The problem is I don’t know what you install on the sled to attach it to. I know a lot of you have a solution. What is it? Thanks.

    Drill a small hole in the bumper of the sled and use a small hitch pin and you will be good to go Have done this with many sleds

    I really can’t tell how that hitch is set up from the picture. If you drop a pin through there like mine I bolted a big eye bolt to the rear grab handle.

    I saw one on a sled (I think it was Ben Garvers) If I remember correctly he used a 4 or 5 inch barn hinge.

    That’s what I’ve done and it works fine. Just make sure you put a big enough washer on the inside of the sled to prevent the bolt from loosening up the hole.

    All I did was use an L bracket and attached that to the snowmobiles grab bar with a U bolt. It was simple, cheap, and seems to work great.
