I pulled out all of the stops to get it through the finance committee.

Can your finance committee talk to my finance committee?

I will see what I can do! LOL.

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.)

Sweet!

What we found is to not get too close to our detached garage, like yours, in that the 'damp' near it makes the vinyl get green and we have to pressure wash the side and that is more work. I would reverse the small trailer near the garage and put the camper out to keep that air and sunlight flowing to keep the 'moldy ick' off the side of the garage. JUST SOME suggestions! Do how ya like but for us this meant alot of sunlight hit the side and made it a better fit for us with less moldly icky hitting the side of the garage and making it nasty. Might be our location and weather etc. but we needed that air and sunlight to make a difference.

fun video!!

I've seen similar on RV dealer lots. The tighter turning radius and low speed in 1st gear really gives you a lot of control to squeeze into difficult spots.

That is as good as reason as any to get a Sub Compact tractor. One machine does it all. I mow, garden, tow, dig, and till with one engine.

Thank you. It made it very nice to move it around in a small area.
