Short trailers are a b*tch to back up. 6 to 8 meter (20 to 26ft) hay wagons are most regular, which are easier.

Fortunately it's small and light enough to use the (manual method) if I get in a bind and not grossly overloaded lol slowly but surely I'm getting a little better at it using old beat up garden tractors anyway. And can do it pretty competently if I push it with an ATV.

Fair enough, unless you've been using regular trailers for years with a single pivot point hay wagons have multiple pivot points and isn't it almost the exact opposite of how you back a regular trailer up? One of these days when I get the time I'm sure I'll confidently master it or close to and I only have a 4x8 2k wagon lol.

I drove a Ford 9000 flatbed with a 24' flat bed wagon behind it. With practice I could back it over uneven ground in a straight line or around a slight corner. I have heard of people (never seen it) who could back a set of doubles. One won a bet from a former boss when he said he could back his set around the small restaurant at truck stop. He was allowed one or two pull-ups but had to back it from where it was parked back to where it was parked. My boss said he had bet $200 and lost but it was worth it to see the man's skill.

Whatever happens, it's not going to end well.

Which happens first??

He hurts himself or he breaks something in the front axle?

Probably both simultaneously.

Probably both simultaneously.

For the tractor's sake hopefully just him

Got to give the '+1' for Subaru.

Never appealed much to me, but for sure they've got to have one of if not the highest owner loyalty rates.

Short trailers are a b*tch to back up. 6 to 8 meter (20 to 26ft) hay wagons are most regular, which are easier because only the triangle will jackknife and not the trailer itself.

No experience with long trailers, but +1 on short ones. I've got 2...a 4x8 and a 5x10. The 5x10 backs pretty well, but forget about the 4x8. It goes wherever it wants, though it's a lot more controllable using the tractor vs a truck.
