I'd really like to put a front bumper on this tractor, but right now it would have to be easily removable until I can afford a larger trailer to haul 2 mowers. Considering TDR is about 6'8" in length, I'd need something in the 12'-16' range. Trailer prices down here are crazy.

Trailers are crazy here too. Anything over 16 foot is a minimum of $1500. I ended up buying a 17 foot frame of an old camper and did some work on it to suit my needs and still am. The camper frame is a little weak for vehicles but it would make a great trailer for mowers. I bet if you could find an old cheap camper and demolished it you could probably have it ready to haul in a matter of 2 or 3 weeks at the rate you finish projects lol.

What if the mount had 2 bolts on each side so you could remove one from each side, loosen the other 2 and swing it down out of the way while in transport?
I don't know about down there but around me I see ragged pop up tent trailers being given away for free sometimes, once they're stripped down they are an excellent platform to make into a toy hauler for cheap!

I was also thinking about the 2 bolts to swivel and maybe a couple pins that could be removed to drop it down.
