Hi all,
I'm off to an auction tomorrow to see if I can find a small trailer to adapt for use with my Grillo G85. I was wondering if someone could give me some pointers as to what the best way to hitch the trailer to the tractor unit would be.
Is the best option to fabricate something to attach to the 2 bolts next to the PTO, or is using the pin hole above this a better option?
I was also wondering about the balance of the whole thing, and how it works with only 2 wheels up front on the tractor, a linkage, then the 2 wheels on the trailer. I would think this would create a pinch point at the linkage that would bind, making it difficult to steer. Any thoughts?
Also, should I be looking for a trailer with a bit of height to it, in order to create a seating area that provides enough leverage for turning the tractor unit?
So many questions! Any insight would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
