I found a couple of yellow balls on extending rods with magnets on the other end. One on the hitch, and one on the ball, and I can get really close without being able to see either the hitch or the ball.

Thanks for that post jigs_n_fixtures !! I have a 2" Reese hitch on my winch so I can pull my trailer and a 1-1/2" Reese on the back of the trailer so I can bring my splitter along. I can't see either one so getting hooked up requires several or more trips on and off the tractor to make little adjustments. Your ball idea sounds like it would be a big help. I'm gona try it.

I have not seen a Huskee log splitter in that configuration. Do you not need a vertical position?

Looks like it's hand a vertical capability in its past; my guess is he doesn't have that big of rounds and prefers to be able to split and toss straight into the trailer?

It is a standard Huskee splitter - goes vertical for big rounds. When I used it with my trailer I wanted to work closer to the trailer so that it was a short lob to throw the splits in. I modified it so that I could easily turn the beam either way on the trailer frame.

Undo the two hydraulic hoses on the valve. Take out the hinge pin. Pick the beam off the frame. Turn the now light frame around. Drop the beam. Insert the pin and reconnect two hydraulic lines.

I could use a set of those too.

I ended up getting a set of magnetic trailer alignment balls from Harbor Freight. Connecting trailers with most of our modern vehicles is a breeze with their backup cameras, but it's a pain in the butt with my antique truck. I can't even see most of my trailers out the back window, and the tongue of my dump trailer and my log forwarding trailer are each heavy enough that getting "close enough" and moving the rest by hand risks blowing out my back.
