570 xmr in Florida

Hello everyone. I picked up a new 2016 xmr a few months ago and look forward to learning from and helping you guys/gals.

I’ve done some basic mods:

Handguards
LED light bar via relay
Fox podium shocks

And I did some basic maintenance:

Front and rear diff fluid, gear box and engine oil changes.

I mostly ride around central/ north east florida

Sportsman XP 1000 Rear Hitch Bracket ??

I am purchasing a 2017 Sportsman XP 1000 November 1st. I plan on using a 2 inch ball to pull a trailer with the XP 1000. I was looking through the accessories on the Polaris Website and noticed that they sell a Rear Hitch bracket……but it does not refer to the XP 1000. Can someone tell me if this bracket fits the XP 1000, or do I have to order a different item number, and what is it. Or…..is a bracket even required for the Sportsman XP 1000??

Rear Hitch Bracket

***** I noticed when I was looking at the model on the floor that there were 3/4 holes drilled in a plate. I am not sure if you are to attach the rear hitch bracket to the existing plate…..or, the hitch ball attaches directly??

Rear wheel weights?

I’m going from a 4ft to a 5ft snow plow this year and want to add wheel weights on the rear wheels of my ’08 420 4×4 Rancher. I can find them for lawn tractors, but nothing for ATV’s. does anyone sell them or do I need to try and adapt some lawn tractor unit to fit the Rancher?

Clutch removal

OK looking for some advice. I am attempting to take off the back CVT cover plate and that entails removing both clutches. I got the proper tools for the clutch removal and had no problem getting both the clutches off except for the back sheave of the primary clutch. I just purchased the clutch puller for that, but when I screw it in and it bottoms out using my air wrench is will not screw in any further to release the back sheave. I don’t want to damage anything, is it supposed to be that hard on there? Any tips?

Removing grille on g2 outlanders

Just curious if anyone has replaced the grille and headlight mounting assembly on a g2? I ran into a downed tree hanging in the trail the other weekend so purchased a replacement since it blew out my right headlights. Just curious if I have to remove the top rack and front plastics or if it will push out where the radiator used to be (relocated to front rack). So far I’ve pulled 6 bolts and 4 retaining clips and it’s loose but won’t slide backwards. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!
