Yeah, Hay wagons and gravity wagons are 10 times easier to move around that way.

The hitch up front stiffens up the frame as well.

Talyn I have a hitch up and love it. My winch works great front or rear! I built mine only cuz I when I got my truck they didn't make them for the duallys. So I took a hitch from a newer Ford that I "acquired". All I had to do is reverse the brackets and weld them back together. I also added a bracket that attached my hitch up to the backside of the bumper bolts to give it extra support. Didn't take long and price was right. I have put a trailer weighing about 12K on it with no problems to date. I'll attach a pic.
