[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 943424, member: 18945"] Yep--short bumper pulls are the worst, and if ya have one hooked to a 3 pt tractor hitch with a bit of horizontal 'slack' in the lift arms, double trouble. Just about the time you get the trailer point where ya need it, the arms and hitch shift over a couple inches and moves the ball and trailer tongue over with it. I have heard differently from others, but I am 100% convinced that it is more than possible to pull a trailer into a situation that you absolutely cannot reverse it back out of. The steering 'geometry' changes relative to the direction you are traveling. :( Not a "backing" thing but............ Fun, is when ya end up out in the woods, about 60 ft off the highway, with the loaded trailer sitting right outside the passenger door, facing the direction you came from---------------- still attached to the bumper hitch.
