I was just thinking about maybe a buy a cheap used riding lawnmower?
But I fear the frame & axle & etc may not hold up to the tongue weight of a average Smaller under 30 foot TT?
Maybe up to 700 lbs?
Yet still looking for a cheaper way to move my trailer around in this tight spot & must deal with?
I'm not much of a welder, so fabbing up something custom is not the best plan, But might need to go buy a welder & start practicing?
I really don't wanna spend $2K for a new Electric Dolly.
Maybe something like this?
But with a much shorter arm holding the tow ball?
Don't even try moving a 30' TT with your riding mower. Tongue weight on my 30' TT is over 1000 lbs and would be way too much for it. You'll either break the rider or you could get seriously hurt. I have a Compact tractor, a 36HP LS XR3037HC and built my own 3 point hitch trailer mover which would be a perfect solution for you but didn't mention it because not many people on here may have them.

Do an online search for electric trailer mover. I saw many very capable battery operated units online in the $250-600 range.
