Here's a simple way to park a towed vehicLe with a truck.
Get a Gama Goat or an
M880
truck tow pintle from your local can point.
Mount it on the truck±s front bumper and you ²re in business-no need to back
a towed vehicLe into place.
Of course, you
'II
need local command approvaL to modify the bumper.
If that's a probLem, TB
9-2300±15±0
has plans f³r a universal front bumper
towing hitch that can be installed on 14´ton thru 5µton vehicles. You can switch
¶t around so no one vehicle has to do alL of the parKing. Your support makes
the hitch Fr you.

authorized for operators¶
Got any ideas?
