The closest thing we have to a hitch solution for you would be the Draw Tite hitch part # 75761 but it only has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity and would not be strong enough for your 600 lb ATV plus the weight of the carrier.
For that heavy of an ATV you'd have to look into a small trailer for transporting it. The Draw Tite # 75761 would be a great option for this though.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 119250KIT.
