Simple Shop-Built Trailer Mover

Simple Shop-Built Trailer Mover FARM HOME Lawn Mowers 31h 38 Jeremy Row FFA member from Shickley Neb recently sent FARM SHOW photos of an idea that FFA students use in their school’s shop “When working on trailers in the shop we needed a way to move them around by hand because usually there’s no pickup available A couple years ago we acquired an old push lawn mower from a cleanup project It didn’t run so we decided to take the motor off and bolt an old flat screen TV hanger bucket on top of the deck Then we bolted a pipe onto the hanger First we welded one end of the pipe to a piece of channel iron and then we bolted the channel iron to the hangar The top of the pipe is open and simply fits inside the trailer’s coupler like a ball would “It was a simple solution to the problem Our only cost was for a few bolts The mower has big 6-in solid plastic tires which makes it easy to move trailers ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Jeremy Row 913 Road X Shickley Neb 68436 ph 402 627-3195; shickleyffa@esu6 org
