3 point trailer mover video!

Just posted a new video about 3 point hitch trailer movers. Thought you all would enjoy. I'm pulling trailer with a 1953 Ford Golden Jubilee. Makes moving trailers around property handy as a pocket in a shirt!

I got my 3 point unit for around $70 from Titan. It is well made and is so much easier than moving large trailers with the truck. Back up to it, lift ball into place and if just going a short distance with unloaded trailer I don't even lock it down or raise the foot. Just set it down and off I go.

Yep! It makes life a lot easier when moving trailers around. I stay on tractor the whole time. Really handy. And having a 3 way ball hitch on the mover is great too!

Using the tractor you can position trailers way more accurately than with a truck. This is great if you have tight parking areas.

My hitch came from a farm consignment sale. Was around $65 I think and it was brand new. Great investment! It stays on that old Ford most of the time. It's really handy for pulling drags or chains too.

The side clearance in my shed is less than a foot on either side. I can get it in there with the truck but it is slow. With the tractor I can zip it right in. The only downside is that I only have one tractor so if the mower or box blade is attached then I've got to change implements.............which clearly means I need more tractors. My wife does not see it that way.

Yes more tractors are required! Haha!

I have seen people weld a hitch on a box blade before. Makes a decent trailer mover if your trailers have a long tongue.

Well then, I guess you just need more wives!

Wives are way more expensive than tractors!

Oscar Wilde said something like this: Bigamy is having one too many wives. So is monogamy. :laughing:

Yeah that for sure! I can barely afford one. Lol

Ain't that the truth!

Trailer mover is probably my cheapest and best purchase for the tractor. I have to do about a 63 point turn with my truck to get my travel trailer in my shop. Much easier with the tractor.

Haha! 63 point turn! I hear ya!

Hmm, I have to 3 point turn my 5th wheel to park it again on return trip. Too bad I can't get a hitch for that for my tractor's 3pt hitch.

They are made... I just use my pallet forks to get my 5th wheel in its' spot at home.

Go easy when moving a 5th wheeler around with ball way up high.

The trailer mover is setup to move goonesnecks and not fithwheels.

Either way moving a gooseneck with the trailer mover is more risky due to hitch being up behind driver. I don't recommend using a small tractor to move a gooseneck. That gooseneck could come loose and break your neck!

How do you secure trailer to camper hitch?

Found the limit of my tarter trailer mover. Converted my GN dump trailer to be ran off the tractors hyd. Been hauling dirt for two days and loading about 7 yards of dirt a load. Unhooked the trailer and noticed the ball looked funny. It broke where the ball threads into the nut on the top. Guess I'll have to cut that all out and weld the ball in with some reinforcements. Obviously I'm exceeding the designed parameters just needs a little help with the fine tuning.

Yeah pulling full load of dirt might be a bit much for the trailer mover. What size tractor you pulling the GN around with? Must be a pretty good size machine.
