I have a little MF 230 that I am going to use in my trailer sales business. I am going to rig it out to move both GN and bumper pulls. Building or buying a 3 point GN/bumper pull attachment is first on the list. Now has anyone built or rigged up something to use on the front of the tractor that could be used for moving bumper pulls via hydraulic lift or winch/cable lift? Looking for ideas or suggestions.

Titan Tractor Trailer Hitch & Ball Drawbar Gooseneck CAT 1 Spear Receiver 3 pt you really cant make one for cheaper unless you have free steel. There are several variations out there that work fine.
If you have a smaller machine or just no loader use a 3pt trailer mover rather rigging up something on the front. You drive backwards, but have better machine ballance.
On my L3200 I had a SSQA to 3pt adapter I made. Often put the trailer mover on that rather than the 3pt.
I havent actually used my trailer mover in ages on my L4060. My pallet forks frame has a 2" reciever I've never used either. I just stuff a ball in the hole in the end of one of the pallet forks.
