He has been complaining about my boat trailer in his path, so my son cut down some trees and we parked the 4-LandRoverWheel trailer alongside his shed. We used the Disco, but had to use a ratchet hoist horizontally for part of the process where we simply ran out of space.
I've been trying to think, like another poster recently, of ways of simplifying the process. We have plenty of rope, some pulleys and there are still trees to attach to etc., but the trailer has no winch. The ground is pretty uneven - the trailer had only one wheel on the ground at one stage - and not terribly solid.
I've looked at ebay caravan movers that go in place of the jockey wheel, but don't think they would be safe to use, then saw towbar mounting winches.
An example is at goo.gl/QcCUg, but there are cheaper ones.
Has anyone experience of these? Is it just a matter of quickly popping it onto the towing ball (actually ours is a ball and pin type with attached and now bent steps), hooking up the power and using the remote control? The pictures seem to indicate they have rollers top and bottom where the wire rope comes out, but not at the sides, so will they only pull straight ahead?
There is no boat on the trailer, so it's not the full 3 tons we are trying to move
