Yeah.... I've dragged around 1 ton quad cab 4x4 trucks with mine.... to get them in the shop because they were dead. But I used a chain and had someone in the cab working the brakes and steering. I'm not saying a Cub can't pull a trailer. But there is a whole difference between being able to pull something, and the ability to steer and stop it.
I know I'm making a bigger deal out of this than necessary..... But I just cannot wrap my mind around you guys who say you need the little GT to maneuver a trailer in and out of places. Where the heck do you guys keep you're trailers that you can't use a truck to move them? How often do you move a boat around in you're yard or barn that you need to have a hitch on a GT to do it? Are you guys storing your trailers in your fenced in back yards behind a storage shed around the corner with trees around it?? What do you do when you need the trailer? What if the yard is wet? I don't understand..... I have a trailer out in my yard because I seldom use it and it isn't licensed. But I can still get to it with a pickup.... I keep other trailers in lean-to's and sheds. One lean-to we put trailers in is packed bumper to bumper and only about enough room between the trailers to walk and not room between the trailer and the shed wall to walk. It's TIGHT.... but we put them in there with a pickup.
Now, I totally understand using a tractor with a hitch on the 3pt to move trailers around. That makes sense. Sit on the seat, back up, lift the hitch into the ball, pick up the whole front end and move it. No getting off to run the jack up and down. Just pick it up, move it, set it down and drive away. But using a GT.... you still have to jack it up and down, get on and off.... Plus there is the whole barley able to move it aspect....
I pull trailers too often to want them tucked away so deep that I need a GT to get them in and out I guess. I have never once looked at any of my cubs and said, "You know what would be great? To have a big tall hitch on that so I can move a trailer." To each their own. I'll stop posting. Just had to say that I guess.
