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-...

Nice setup,you got there Rider!
I’m a little surprised your flatbed trailer has a 2” ball. My 16’ one is 2 5/16” and I assumed any trailers that size would be. Is it commercially made or home built?
With trailers and/or property, a tractor sure is nice to have. Mine’s a little larger (~3500 lbs) and the first week I owned it I built a hitch that attaches to the bucket. I’ve only ever moved smaller ATV/snowmobile trailers around with it though. I’m lucky enough to have a brother-in-law who likes to fabricate stuff. He built a 5 tine, 5’ wide, 5’ long brush rake that replaces the bucket. He also built a quick hitch so it’s only 2 pins to do it.
My next project is a receiver hitch attachment that pins on my mini excavator in place of the bucket. That will make moving those trailers a breeze. Last year I uncoupled the cargo trailer from the truck camper and parked it, without moving the truck. I used the safety chains hooked onto the excavator bucket. It worked but wasn’t as easy to guide.
