Front-End Loader Best SSQA trailer mover attachment?

[Smokeydog]

Had a split ssqa plate from 30+ years ago when I converted from pin on FEL buckets. A used V5 receiver hitch from the truck.

Window to see the trailer hitch when hooking up.
Receiver tubes from various past projects. Vertical for polesaw.
Side wings to help guide ssqa when attaching.
Extra hitch hanger.
About 95#.
Awaiting prep and paint shop.

Combined several ideas to make what I need from what I had.

Might be spring before the paint drys.

That multi hitch plate looks good. I just added a Titan SSQA receiver hitch to my collection. Caught it on sale. Used it to move 2 trailers around. worked great.

Like the center window to see the hitch. Especially with larger tractors.

Like to see how that pole saw holder works.

Polesaw mounting is as important to me as trailer moving. Use the same reinforced 2” receiver hitches. Current hitches welded to bucket or grapple. Wanted lower weight and less interference cutting in wooded, hilly roads and perimeters.

New receiver hitch plate gives several mounting options. Recent backhoe stabilizer pads upgrade also gives hope in aligning the polesaw on slopes. Gives another adjustment and stabilization in another axis anyway.

Made my plate and receiver from scraps i had laying around. Only cost was my welding rod and electricity. Receiver came off an old truck

That’s the best kind! Like the little up angle. Maybe some serrated step pads to help climb over?

Sure like the open center window design to see the hitch on a bigger tractor.

My multi purpose SSQA hitch;

And for the other end;

And a quick and dirty gooseneck hitch that stays at the farm;

It would seem easy to add the lugs for a snowplow. Add a 3rd function cylinder for chain lift and float.

Have a 1965 dodge W300 with plow bought by originally by the Knoxville Post Office. Beast of a blade, hydraulic lift, manual angle. Moved more gravel than snow for our use. Don’t get the snow load very often.
