Canadian tire had them on sale also Home hardware in Whitecourt had some good looking ones.
Riverside used to have that style, bought mine at Cabelas but you by the hitch separate and not a cushioning hitch.
$350for anything decent.
You could probably toss a 120 into te Cabelas one.
I haul up to 150# gear in mine for fishing trips.

In order to avoid it filling with snow I used a chunk of 1/8th Teflon and some U-bolts to build a cover over the hitch bar... works really good, specially into the spring when you can load an extra 300lbs of wet snow in there after a mile or two.
I have a cover on mine or else it is full of snow - messy.
I also punched steel grommets on the tarp edge and J-bolts on outside of skimmer to hold tarp tight and no blown off tarps halfway across lake.
Cheapo elastic border on tarp.

I got the pelican one from Canadian tire. Probably close to 1200km of ice fishing on it and still looks new. Great quality

I got a pelican trek 75 from crappy tire for 220$ and the hitch for 60$ But that was on sale. Things massive and well built.

The pelican ones great for the price. Cheap when it’s on sale or at Costco. CT sells the draw bar and cover separate if needed. Costco use to sell it as a complete kit
The 120 is a bit to wide to drop right inside. But it’s ok with one ski in and one out. Or rest on both A arms but then you gotta drill some holes and strap it down good. I tried that first but didn’t strap it on too crazy and lost it once! Crached a mounting tab off the widow so had to convince the boy we were taking the windshield off so it’s faster!
I like the snow defector on the draw bar idea above.
last minute 5 minute fab job of a clamp on hitch from a hinge and a price of conduit.
