Moving a small TT with this..

[Fisherman]

Other than the review shown at the link, does anyone have any personal experience with this item. My problem is I have a bit of a restricted "S" bend to get the trailer into it's off season parking spot. I'd like to hold off buying a front mounted hitch if this thing works. It would be on hard grass and I can always lay down some small sheets of plywood to prevent sinking. Also, it's a flat area, no running away. Thanks.

I move my goose neck stock trailer, dump trailer , and my previos TT around with my tractor. Works for me. Another RVer installed ahitch on his riding lawn mower & said it worked great for lighter TTs.

As stated above, I would just put a receiver on the front of the truck. Much easier, safer, and probably cheaper. Don't even need a 4WD vehicle to use one.

If you have a 4 wheel drive tow vehicle, add a receiver to the front of it. I can push just about any trailer anywhere I want to.

It pushes and pulls my camper and boat around the yard. It will still bog down in grass if either one has sat for awhile. I'm skeptical that yours could handle grass.

Mind you, what I got cost about $1200 - but it sure saves arguing with the wife putting the camper down the narrow side of the house to get to the back yard.

Ow, that is a bit expensive, but there's a price for everything, thanks for the photo.

Ya, been there, done that with the electric one. It had one drive wheel and 2 caster sized wheels at the opposite end. Didn't get any traction on that model. I'm hoping this one might do it as it has all the tongue weight directly on the tandem rubber tires.

It says it's rated for #1500 tongue weight... I don't think it'll work too well on anything but a paved surface IMO.. Ever try running a hard wheeled wheelbarrow over grass with a load in it?? Not fun... 😉

Good luck!

Trailer weighs about 3500lbs when empty, no water, batteries, etc. One other website I found says you can power it with a 12" drill.

When I follow the link in the first post I get a unit with a 1500 lb capacity???

All depends on the size of the trailer . I have one and move small single axel trailers , I wouldnt even try on a larger or dual axle trailer.
