I jockey a lot of trailers around and made one for each end. For visibility hooking up, the rear is best. I have a hitch that slides on the forks for front end use but that puts your load way out ahead of your tires and you have to watch the "headboard" on the forks with a GN or 5th wheel. If you had something clamped on the bucket edge, you could not see it! I use the 3pt. end mostly, just with a regular pintle hitch in the reciever, it fit's 1 5/8 thru a 2 5/16 ball as well as a GN. At tractor speed & a little tongue weight, I never have had any trouble with a trailer getting loose and don't have to fool with a complete "hitch up".
