M-715 Trailer Tug

Military Workhorse

A few months ago I did this to the Army truck so I could move my trailers around more easily.


A little trailer hitch stock, a chop saw, plasma cutter, and a welder and I had this little receiver hitch built into the huge construction steel front bumper that came with my M-715. I don't think I'd trust the front framehorn mounts to pull much more than 5K lbs when I'm running the receiver hitch shackle mount, but it sure is good for snaking my boat or car hauler into my RV parking on the side of my house.
