SSQA Trailer Mover

Saw this and decided to make one.
Titan Attachments Trailer and Skid Steer Hitch Adapter for 2-inch Insert Ball

Turns out the Titan one is a pretty good deal.
I like mine better though, because it gets the hitch as low as possible.
Just figured I'd post it up in case anyone had some scrap laying around and wanted to see how to make their own.
Fun little project.

(Disclaimer: I'm aware of the hazards of pulling backwards with a front end loader and the potential damage this can cause. This is only going to be used for moving empty trailers around my yard/driveway. I will be welding a receiver to my 3pt quick hitch and/or using the draw bar for heavier/longer distance trailer towing.)

I have to wonder if the single side trailer movers put excess strain on the ssqa torque tube.

I thought about that too. Which is another reason I'm only going to use it for empty trailers. For things like moving a trailer to mow, etc. I'd never attempt to lift any amount of weight off center like that. If I need to do that I'll use the hitch on the 3pt or draw bar. This is just a lot quicker for the little moves, especially if I have an attachment on.

That would be my concern also but if you only use it for empty trailers and know your limitations you will be fine. Nice job!!

Looks awesome. Tig or Mig? Looks like Mig but I didn’t have my glasses on.

Those work good on a skid steer were you can see the hitch but not so much on a tractor with little to no visibility.

Really nice looking build though.

MIG. Quick and easy for something like this where precision isn't all that important.

Easy enough to see on my little RK24.
And thanks.
