Anyone mounted a trailer hitch ball on FEL?

   / Anyone mounted a trailer hitch ball on FEL? #21  
I just bought a 16' tamdem trailer to haul my BX-22. I want to move it around my place with the tractor - - anyone mounted a ball to your FEL?

I've attached a photo of the trailer. It's a Lone Wolf Trailer. No electric brakes, but I'm not planning on any major hauling.

Thanks,

Jack

Here's what I did.

I made an attachment for my backhoe bucket, though I don't use it for towing my trailers, just to move them a short distance when they are in my way. I planned on adding a way to pin it in place, but it doesn't really need pinning for what I use it for. Just drop it onto the bucket, back up to the trailer and away I go. The trailer in the pic is an 18' car hauler and is almost to much tongue weight (with the box blade onboard), gotta be gentle or my front wheels will come off the ground.

Dang, that's cool BXTex. I'd make one too if you think 2x4's would work. Gotta take up welding in my next life.

If you have a set of forks, put a ball on the end of the fork, or this

You can also use 3pt stuff on the front of your tractor, if you have the shidsteer setup

This is excellent. Best solution yet, and exactly what I'd want. All I have to do is get a welder and learn how to use it first. :eek:
