The recent thread by JimR made me get going & build my on trailer mover. It came out ok & I used it today to move our horse trailer.

Hey, that's pretty cool. It looks like another good idea I'm going to have to file away so I can steal it when the patent expires.

Nice work. yet another reminder of why I need to get a welder set up in my pole barn.

Thing Is.....................................

You gotta have one for the front, too !!!!

Plenty of other uses besides just trailers too.

Nice set up DT. I have the simply clamp on ball that I put on my FEL. It's hard to line up as I can't see the ball when pulling up to the trailer. Looks like your design took care of that problem. Good work!!!!!

I'm envious of that cab you have! Look nice!

I love the inovations folks come up with for making our tractors useful and handy to have around.

Here are a couple of additions to mine that have been useful tools.

The one on the loader just locks in without pins. Having an 8000lb winch permanently mounted in the loader is a real treat. The box weighs a bit over 1200lb. 650 quad, fishing poles, chainsaw, rifles and such headed for Alaska. You will notice that I just have a shackle at the apex of the extention on the loader. Usually there is a small pulley there. As I didn't have to run out or take any line I just did the pick and put it in the trailer.

The rear unit has the small boom for picking logs with the tongs and is removeable to use with the regular top link. It also has an 8000lb hyd winch with chain hooks and an easy lift reciever.

Had to edit, noticed that I had put the winch in other categories, don't beat me up to bad.
