Having read through this thread,I think I understand most of the advantages and disadvantages to each system. I'm considering a tow dolly but Im concerned about moving it by hand on uneven surfaces. Any advice from folks using a tow dolly would be appreciated. One post refers to 400lbs with 50 lb hitch weight. That sounds like a problem to wheel around? I know I could add a hitch to the toad, but hitch/unhitch would get to be a real session.
If you buy a boat trailer style tilt wheel tongue jack (about $30) you can raise/lower the tongue without having to lift it manually. Makes hitching up very easy to any tow vehicle you want to use. The wheel on the tilt jack makes it easy to roll the dolly around on a relatively smooth surface. At home I move the dolly around with my riding mower. While traveling if I want to move it to store while staying somewhere for an extended visit I use my toad vehicle. The wheel on the jack makes it easy to shift the dolly a bit to hook up, but unless its on a paved surface I don't try to move it much by hand.
