All sleds come with a J-hitch in Sweden. I tow a lot and often very heavy loads, + 1500 kg (3300 lb). I often have my family as "cargo" also.
The J-hitch is okay but I would like a more sophisticated mechanism to improve riding comfort (if towing people), and driving comfort.
On ATV's in Sweden we use a more car-like hitch with much higher precision and I think that would suit a snowmobile too.

The rigid "car like" hitch is great for pull comfort but in certain conditions if/when you get stuck and canīt move either snowmobile or sled in any direction it can be almost impossible to loosen the hitch as easy as it is with a j- hitch.
In other words the machine and sled/tobbogan gets to be one heavy unit to loosen instead of two separate ones

i agree this problem occurs even with j hitches sometimes.↲
maybe its the best solution after all.
