The turn would be too sharp for the trailer to make.

not sure, but pretty often. It would not only be a car/equipment hauler, but it would also transport large items, as my utility is enclosed, and can't house them. Sometimes I miss having a pickup.

Now that is just crazy talk.

Again, the trailer wouldn't make the swing, but even if it did, I would have to make something work to get a ball on the thing. I have the draw bar that came with it, and I know they make a 3pt attachment for it, but the backhoe requires the removal of the 3pt hitch, and the backhoe stays on the machine almost all the time. Seems silly to unload the hoe, load the 3pt and the ball attachment, just to pull the trailer out, just to unload the 3pt to put the how back on.

I'm good with putting it where I want it, and I am doing a lot of work on the ouse for the wife this summer with the intent of cashing in some brownie points to get the trailer later this summer or fall.
