Pulling GN trailer with a Tractor

[Rustyiron]

I'd like to have the elec brakes hooked up for road use, but I just do this on the property.

How do you hook up a goose neck trailer to the three point hitch? Do you drop down the adjustable goose neck all the way? Even still you would need a large tractor to be able to lift the 3 point 3 feet in the air to pick it up. No sure I would do this. That's a lot of weight on that 3 point hitch. How big is the tractor you are using? I would think it's over 100 hp. The other question is how fast can you stop the tractor and trailer with a full load?

I use the Transformer from Omni: TRANSFORMER Quick Hitch Compatible Platform - OMNI Mfg LLC

3560 pounds on the ball, pulling the 10,480 pound horse trailer. :thumbsup:

RustyIron, That's what I'm talking about.

Wagtail and breaktrk, Listen if your afraid of getting plowed or hit on the road, you need to stay home. Because, if something happens weather it's your fault/there fault someone else's fault. He who has the deepest pocket beware. Typically the guy with the nicest rig!

XFAXMAN - I like that mover, I was planning on one very similar using CatII clevis style on the lower pins. I want to use a quick hitch to push that GN away from back of tractor cab, this will give me better turning capability, knowing more weigh out farther requires more weigh on front end. (Tradeoff)
I planned on using 2-1/2 X 2-1/2 ID tubing so that my B&W turnover ball would drop in from the top. Will enforce top tubing to prevent spiting tube. Thank you for the link and the pictures

Yep your're welcome, it is a very versatile design.

B&W makes an offset ball, if you need even more clearance. :thumbsup:
