I actually solved a lot of issues by adding some quick disconnects on the hyd lines from the lift cylinder. Then rather than tow with the truck which for me is really too small, (Tacoma) I use the tractor and use made up hyd lines to a rear remote. No more battery problems! Annnd, being a slow moving vehicle, in this area at least, no plates, no CDL, no nothing to worry about, just display the SMV sign and go. The M7060 12 speed does 39kph. Plenty fast for a 5-8mile trip into town.
A truck with a PTO would be handy though! I suspect some of us that end up with issues use these trailers hard for a few days here and there, then hardly at all for weeks. There’s really no ideal out of the box solution.
