The rear hitch that was bolted to the frame wasn't standard until the cyclops tractors. No idea why, other than they called it a "bagger plate". Perhaps it was just standard so that a bagger could be added directly. The cyclops was the first GT offered with a bagger system by CCC, so it makes sense.
Like I said, it doesn't seem to make a nickels worth of difference as to which one is "better", or easier on the rear. Personally I prefer a hitch bolted to the rear end.
