I have a Kurt powered draw bar on my Index 860 and don't know what I'd do without it. There are only a couple of things that could be considered "drawbacks" with it. One, you need an air compressor hooked up to it and two, you've added another "system" that things could go wrong with. Air leaks, need to keep adding oil for it, bad "O" rings, etc. etc.
That being said, it is a dream to use - quick, simple, and I don't need a step ladder.
