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.

You make a good point...the truck gets a front mounted hitch in the
future.

If it's a receiver hitch, it's also handy for use with receiver mount
winches so you can use them front or rear as convenient.
