Using it as a rated recovery point.
I would suggest you ask hayman reece.

The hitch may be capable, but the suzuki chassis where it bolts to may not be.

If they get bogged, as above, lend em your shovel.
Don't break your car trying to recover something 2.5-3 times it size.

You probably wont bend your chassis, more likely to tear bolts out.

cool, ive been googling the jolly goodness out of this. and i believe hayman reece wont want to comit to saying yes or no just because of liabilitys if someone screws up a recovery and wears a shackle to the face..... haha, fitting my long handled shovel in the suzi is an effort. i think its time to make it a mid-handle shovel. thanks guys!
