    Motorized trailer dollies - Trax 6000 or Park it 360 - suggestions?

    It seems that each new boat and truck gets longer every time I upgrade which results in putting the boat in my side entry garage difficult - even with Go jacks. I am looking at motorized trailer dollies as a possible solution.

    Does anyone have any experience with the Trax 6000 or Park it 360 motorized trailer dollies? I am also open to other suggestions as well. Thanks

    My experience is with the 360. Heavy duty model with the larger tires for stability. Will do the job, but slow......especially turning a 90 degree corner coming out of a garage with a tandem trailer. Tandem trailers do not go around sharp corners very well. Otherwise a powerful machine. It would take me about 20 minutes to get my boat out of the garage, turn the corner, unhook the machine and then back the truck down the driveway for final hook up. Not a big deal if your a young dude, but tiresome if your in your late 70's. There is nothing like a straight shot to a garage for outside storage.

    I have had the AC powered 3 wheel model for several years. If you have AC available this is the way to go. The cord is about 50 ft long and allows plenty of room for turning. You will need to install a bracket on your trailer rail to use this rig. I can turn my 21 foot Bullet 180 degrees to back it in the garage with no problem. A friend has the same model and uses it ona 21 ft Triton in a very tight space. Works well for both of us.

    Unless you have gravel, sand or dirt. It will lose traction easily, thinking of selling mine since it doesn't get used.

    My friend has hard time putting boat on side of garage when he needs the garage. He does like it. I was wondering if they have a brake ?

    I use this with 18 v drill. I have all concrete. Works great. Just keep the bushings lubed up. Been having it for a couple of years. I have a 19 foot boat, dual axle.

    Any thoughts on using a cheap used lawn tractor? Just a thought.

    Lawn tractor would work. If I had place or a need for a lawn tractor I wouldn't need the trailer valet. A few years ago I moved from acres in the country with 44 x 60 building to a subdivision. I don't spend 7-8 hours a week on a tractor but I miss the country life style, garden, fruit and fig trees etc.
