Title: Electric travel trailer dolly
Post by: fast60eddie on April 14, 2022, 07:57:27 PM: Is there one brand that outshines them all? I am a little more than 6% grade and will have to cross a small patch of turf.

Money better spent, IMHO, would be to put a hitch on the front of your vehicle, if that option will work to do what you want to do.
I have one on both our SUV's. Don't use them often, but they work well for tight spots and hauling MC's.

Problem is you have a 500# set of tires trying to move a 5000# set of tires. Anything other then hard level ground physics is against you. Hitch on front or rear of a tractor would be handy.
