Trailer Mover

Thought I would share how I have solved my problem of moving trailers around the yard without hitching to a tow vehicle.

I added a hitch ball to the front of my zero turn John Deere Lawn Mower.

Finding a drill bit in my tool box was the hardest part, but with sanding stone I was able to make do.

Added a strip of plastic robbed from a storage tub lid.

Lunette ring fits right over ball and does not wear into the base metal of John Deere.

Simple solution.

I have been looking for a broken tiller or snow thrower that is self propelled to make a powered trailer dolly.
Had a neighbor with a travel trailer that just fit into his single stall garage 3" per side He used a dolly with an electric motor and gear reduction.

Nice...A zero turn would work great for moving trailers/boats inside of buildings.


harlyhouse, something like this. (needs a front swivel though)
