For those of you who don't want to buy or have to deal with a TRAILER for your UTV , here is an option I found. I need one for myself and thought I would share it with you guys/gals

I have thought about making something like that. I would rather have it sit over the tail gate a bit.
Also it needs to be quite a bit wider. My Rear tires on my Rhino touch my cables.

Well, that is the least safe thing I have seen all day.
Class III hitches have a load rating of 500# or less with the load only 8" behind the hitch... I.E. a standard ball. Hang it that far back and you will twist any factory hitch off in a matter of hours. Assuming that it didn't bend first, which seems to be a real possiblity given the design.
Two thumbs down from an engineering perspective.

For a quad it might be ok but I wouldn't even think of hanging a Rhino on that thing.

its for my quad but i'm sure it could be modified to fit a rhino. I would remove the tail gate perhaps and add some lateral support. plus weight the ass end of the rhino. Just thought I would throw it out there
