Moving my Travel Trailer around the house
I bought another Sub Compact tractor, and it sure is handy to move my Travel Trailer around the house. It looks scary, but the little tractor is very stout and did it well. https://youtu.be/0hiNxx4-...

Having done a bit of work a couple summers on a horse farm many moons ago, I can vouch for tractors being great for maneuvering trailers around. The combination of unobstructed visibility, the hitch close to the axle, and really tight turning thanks to wheel brakes makes backing a trailer into a tight spot almost easy. Granted, about all I worked with were hay trailers, but I see no reason why a travel trailer would be any different.
(A hydraulically raised hitch ball is also a very slick feature; we had one, too, though it wasn't a three-point setup on the 1950's vintage tractor we used most to haul trailers around.)
I grew up on a big farm plus around heavy equipment. We used a tractor to move trailers around all of the time. I have used my past subcompact tractors to move around my trailers, but I always tighten up when doing moving them with a new small tractor.
