| problem with that idea is a stock length tractor will just lift the front wheels up trying to lift another mower up.. I usually just run a chain and pull the tractor to where i need it while somebody else steers on the tractor. if The transmission is gernaded in the broken down tractor i just drag them out | |

| I have used the sleeve hitch on my Case 444 to pick and move tractors, I don't lift the whole tractor, just hook one end or the other and lift the wheels off the ground enough to move it. I don't think the weight is any more than a tiller attachment. Front weights will help if the pulling tractor front gets light on the steer axle. the wrecker boom idea is not the best way to go, think more along the idea of the wheel lift style to keep the center of gravity low. Not gospel just my 2 cents. | |

| Have you thought of putting a hand winch on the back of the tractor and putting a piece of 2x2 oe 3x3 square tubing on and angle with some pulleys for the winch cable to roll on and just use that. It would be like the sleeve hitch but it wouldn't be adjustable. | |

| I have been kicking around the idea of making a car dolly type trailer with a winch, but have not really needed one because the 195 has a 3 point on it and I built a set of forks that will lift most of the throw away mowers. before that I used smaller version of the dune buggy style T bone trailer |

| When my dad grenaded his MTD tractor mowing down in the field a few years ago - i used a ratchet strap to hold the tractor front wheels off the ground and strapped securely to my craftsman , hauled it right up to the shed easily. | |
