Default Getting An Enclosed Trailer...Questions, Questions, Questions

Maybe this is too far off-topic... but one day I was thinking how nice
it would be to put hydraulic motors onto two wheels of a trailer with
an appropriate power unit. That way you could maneuver the trailer
around without the tow vehicle, to park it in a tight spot maybe.
With two motors and the little wheelie thing on the A-frame you could
skid-steer it.



A front mounted trailer hitch works wonders using your tow vehicle. I always
parked F4 Phantoms in the barn using the front hitch of the tow tractor.
Having the steer wheels near tongue or tow bar makes maneuvering a piece of
cake. Not to mention looking forwards while you are doing this.
