I told my dad (who thinks he's my CFO) that I was going to be buying a hitch this week...he told me just to slap a ball on the bumper.
He also wanted to tow a bobcat with his Ranger. On the bumper.

Currently we only have mine and zairmans, I can get about 9-10 people in mine w/ gear, I dont think Zairman can get that many though. It would be nice if we don't have to leave anyone on the bank.
Edited to add:
Even if we can all get on one, then it dont hurt to have spares incase of break down or to swap out and help lessen the gas bill so one person isn't burning thiers all weekend.

I am OD rated so depends on how big the people are. I can have 1500 lbs of people and 300 lbs of gear. I also have 6" handrails 360º, which allows me to also be festival seating, you don't even have to have a seat.
I can pack em in like sardeans as long as we stay under 1500 lbs of **** and as long as we keep the load even or on the bow then I can plane with no problems.
