Trailer Valet
Anyone else have one of these? For those who don't know what it is, it is a trailer dolly with a hand-cranked gear reduction that allows you to move trailers around.
My trailer is probably on the ragged edge of the maximum weight the V5 version can realistically handle. I had to move all the heavy items from the front to the rear of the trailer to lighten the tongue so it didn't look like the thing was going to break off. Also any time the going got a little tough, something was skipping inside the chain reduction box.
However, it got my trailer into its winter bay without having to get on and off the tractor 20 times, without having to unhook and rehook from different angles. I'm not sure I'd pay full price (~$400 or ~$600 depending on the version you get) for one, but it was well worth what I paid for it at the auction.
