FEL Trailer Mover Idea?????

[sbailey]

I thought I would throw this out there and see if this is would work. I was going to mount a Ball in the top and a pin to drop down in the back so it won't slip off the bucket.

Pretty need idea and nice cuts to make it fit. The only problem I can see is that you cannot see the bottom of the bucket while on the tractor where this is sitting. With it mounted on the top of the bucket, you can see the ball clearly while operating the tractor and easily drive right up to the trailer and hook on.

I dunno, I made the MadReferee version which clamps on the bottom of my bucket. After I put a stinger with a ball in there it can be seen from the seat when the bucket is rolled back a bit. Might take a little more finesse but I also use a small ball which makes it easy to get into the hitch.

I'd put a ball in there, clamp everything together and give it a test drive. Might need to make it a little longer so you can see it from the seat.

My trailers are light, so I built this for my BX2200. Works fine, and by tilting the bucket back a little, I can see the ball.

I leave the base in the bucket and it's not an issue.
