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! :D

Wives are way more expensive than tractors!

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