I'd use something like this. Short for leverage, long enough to keep it away from the gearbox if the trailer slips.

You can do a European style if you don't want an interchangeable ball. They look a little cleaner and the nut doesn't loosen.

Does the Honda Pioneer 500 use a class 1 or a class 2 Hitch ?
If it is a class 1 Hitch then a class 2 Ball mount probably wont fit in it even if it is 1 1/4 inch from what I understand .

Good point, I don't remember, we might have cut down a class ii. A class i will do everything a Pioneer can.

Correct, a class i will fit in a classii but a class ii will not fit in a class i without cutting the shank shorter or drilling a new pin hole. The class i receiver has a block off plate to prevent the classii mount from inserting far enough to align the pin holes.
