Trailer Valet XL - anyone used one?

[Corey_lax]

Has anyone used the Trailer Valet XL? My backyard is nearly perfectly flat, but is a bit bumpy and It’s very difficult to push the boat into position by hand. I can’t make the corner from the back alley with my truck because there is a ditch in the alley. I’ve put the boat here twice and it’s a huge struggle each time. Looking for some real world experiences on these things.

on second thought, I'll probably just weld up a hitch for my John Deere mower.

$60 for one already made on Amazon. Not bad. https://www.amazon.ca/ELITEWILL-Lawn-Towing-Hitch-Husqvarna/dp/B0855NDVZM

I have the same issue with a 19ft boat in alley. Can’t get it in with the truck. I picked up a trailer valet 5X off Craigslist and my back thanked me. You do need to get the bit and use an 18 volt drill.

It lasted about 2 years then the axle blew. I picked up a new one from poco marine. The chain fell off once (chain goes a bit slack when you’re pushing, so I learned to be careful when turning).

If the john Deere thing works then great. If not I’d recommend the valet, I won’t go back to manual! Getting too old

I had a similar problem to the above-fixed mine by putting a hitch on the front of the truck and pushing into the garage-very precise.
