Options for SSQA trailer mover (receiver hitch) ?

[deezler]

We've had skid steers over 30 years. Lots of trailers. Never anything special to move trailers, and they get moved.

Lol, great input. So you just... smash into them with the skid steers and push them around? Huh, didn't think of that option.

They move with the bucket easy. Gooseneck and bumper pull. But like I said, nothing special that goes on the quick attach. I do have a set of forks I bought used that have a hole blown in one for a hitch ball, but have never put one in it. Best I ever used was a plow pin instead of hitch ball. Didn't have to get off and latch trailer on a ball, just picked up with vertical mounted pin. Nothing dedicated to SSQA though.

yeah I was just messing around; figured you just lifted with the bucket to move them. Do you have any hills or is the farm quite flat? Seems like it could get a bit sketchy.

Not flat. But you can always hook safety chain to the bucket. Or just let the jack hit the ground if it starts getting ahead of you.

I have a receiver hitch on my SSQA to 3pt adapter so I can do 2 things with one attachment.

Yeah those caught my eye for this very reason. Which brand do you have and would you recommend?

If you like to stand up every time you hook up a trailer, be my guest.
I like hooking up setting down in the comfort of my cab.

The one I have was made in a shop in Minnesota and they don't advertise them anymore.

Sheesh man, quit bragging about your nice design unless you want to make another one or five. Could probably hype the multiple features and specific design benefits and get $400 apiece, though…

SSQA Receiver tube atachment

Built this so that I could get low and under the tong when it is on the ground. Also don't have to grab the forks. boxed in the pin hone This should get you the length the other one is at a 45 this one is at ?, think you could get away with another 45, I just matched what was on the bucket...
