Double Axle Maneuverability..any tips

[murrayra53]

Had the same issue with my Ranger Z520. Tried 4 of the cheaper wheel dollies from Northern Tool, no dice, couldn't budge it. Talked to the Go Jak folks and was advised to buy 4 of their units, cost $1200.00. Found a refurbished Trailer Valet unit on Ebay for $ 600.00. It gets the job done unless it's raining, wheels spin. They offer stand alone and trailer bolt on units, may want to take a look at the Etrailer website. Good luck.

Why not?

If you take 2 wheel/tires off the first axle, you would put too much weight on your trailer jack, and when all the way up may not clear the hubs on front axle, and even if it worked, it would be a total PITA every time.

Right! 1) If your trying to get your boat under cover for the winter then it does work. 2) Couple choices here if needed easy enough the strap the axle up and it doesn't have to be the front axle either. 3) have you tried it I have and it works.

thanks for the advice. Decided to buy 2 wheel dollies from HF and will try them tomorrow. No putting up for winter, plan on fishing through out the year and needed something to make putting the boat up easier. Will report back

Cool I'd be putting an extension on the back myself if that was the case for me.

Interesting, when on your tongue jack, your rear axle carries most of the weight since your motor hangs back there, and much more if on a JP with poles.

Good cheap fix by placing them under your front axle and use tongue jack to control rear axle clearance to fenders for rub.
BTW, heck of a lot cheaper than moving the kitchen, which could be in upward of 50K.

much appreciation for all the great comments. Told you guys I would report back with the results. Remember I could not budge this thing the other night, and was motivated so

Got the mechanical wheel dollies from HF, 2 of them and used them on the 2 fronts. It worked better than I expected. Moves around miles easier! This is what makes the internet great:)
