I had the same plan for moving my 25' trailer with my 2305. The tractor handled it just fine, but I didn't. My driveway has some slope and I was (as intended) trying to maneuver in some fairly tight quarters. What surprised me was how much the lack of visibility was unnerving. I'm pretty good at putting the trailer wherever I want it to go with the truck (forward and backwards). Apparently using the mirrors plays a big part in my confidence. Just pulling it forward out of the shed made me feel blind. I was surprised because I move my large flat bed trailer with the tractor all the time without hesitation. I ended up hitching up the truck to put the trailer away.
I suppose I could mount some huge mirrors on the front of the tractor and try it again. Glad you're having fun!
