Today I had the opportunity to try out the trailer hitch receiver portion of the pallet fork attachment. I picked up and moved around three of my trailers, which included 1400 lb (250 TW) single axle utility trailer, 7000 lb (350 TW) 26' boat/29' tandem trailer, and 8500 lb (1200 TW) toy hauler travel trailer. I only moved the big trailers basically forward and backward about 30 feet, no problems. I had to engage 4WD backing up with the toy hauler because the back wheels were spinning due to the TW (in low range and 2nd gear), even with beet juice filled tires. It's so much easier backing up or pulling forward these trailers when I'm facing them to the front, compared to having to turn around when using the 3-point hitch receiver. Another advantage of the FEL hitch receiver attachment is that I can pick up the front of the boat trailer as high as I want to, which is handy for completely draining the bilge, or draining water from the cover. One thing I plan to do the next time I move trailers around is to use my 8" drop ball mount and use it as a "riser" to put the ball higher, which will make the ball much easier to see. That was my biggest challenge with these trailers -- visibility. I think getting the ball higher will make a big difference. So far, the Titan attachment gets an A grade for the hitch receiver being easy to use, and it did withstand twice the TW that it's rated for (rating is 600 lb). 20180218_174439.jpg20180218_174503.jpg20180218_174521.jpg

I received mine last week, and immediately used them to restack about 5 cords of spruce logs. For the price they are going to be a handy attachment. I have some 2x4 steel stock, so if I ever need to have the forks farther apart I can weld some additional mounts.
With the SSQA I put the bucket on and bring a few trees out of the woods; then switch to the forks when I process and stack the logs.
