You know you cut it too tight when you hear and feel the inside tire's lugs dancing on the drawbar!!  :rolleyes:

Used to do that on nearly every corner if I let it. 

I had to keep a very close eye on it. 

Much better now!

I know this is gonna make me sound like a little wamby pamby, but all I see is leaves of three.  Let ‘em be!  Poison Ivy sucks and I feel like when I’m in a forest, I spend more time looking for that than enjoying the woods :lol:

AND - the added tongue length makes it a tad easier to back up!! 

Backing up a short wheelbase trailer is very similar to herding cats!! :lol:

There’s nothing worse than trying to reverse with a trailer that has a wide track and a short drawbar! Especially in a straight line😬🤬

In all the woods exploration we do and Trina and I being born and raised country folk who spent most of our younger days outside,

Neither one of us has ever had poison ivy rash.

Not that we would be prone to pushing our luck but to the best of my knowledge we don't have any on the land except maybe right out by the roadside.

I see big green leaves, and it all looks the same to me!  :lol:

Timely! We just decided to change the camp cart to a ball hitch!

I recommend it.

All the yard trailers I pull with my bigger tractors get a ball hitch.

This will be the rig setup for the crane. That trailer will be lifted with a boat winch. 

The crane assembly will stay on the tractor so it can be used separately.
