trailering with the Tractor facing forward or backward?

That's how I'd haul it.

Same here.

Roger, I'm OCD about that safety pin. My log splitter is trailer mounted and has one of those stupid spring loaded levers to latch the ball. I don't trust it at all and always add a safety pin.

The salesman I bought my trailer from put a safety pin on the coupler before I left the lot. Told me the same thing about the pins. Don't trust the spring! Pin it down.
