Quick attach Jib / trailer mover

[bdog]

I built this today for my tractor and skid steer. It has a ball for moving trailers and a chain hook and eye for carrying suspended loads or pulling out fence posts.

Looks strong enough to pull a train

Heavy duty! Nice build.

Hope all your trailers use same size ball... Otherwise nice build...

They don’t but I never latch the hitches anyway. I used a 2” ball so it will work on 2 & 2 5/16. It is flat as a pancake here and all I ever use the trailer mover for is moving them around my barns and stuff. I had a similar setup that just slipped over a pallet fork that I used for ten years and never latched the trailers or had any issues.

Well I lost my car carrier with 2-5/16 hitch off 2 inch ball, luckily it was empty and in yard.... I only use correct ball for hitch now...

Why would you put a ball on a hitch built to tow a semi-trailer? I'm curious to see your trailers.

This attachment isn’t long enough to move my semitrailer. I have used something slipped over my forks to my 53’ step deck with my skid steer. I will use it on occasion to move my four gooseneck trailers but primarily I will be using the hook to carry things with a chain.
