Has anyone had difficulty with keeping the trailer secured to the tractor? The trailer hitch pin is not long enough to turn as per the directions

I have same problem!! It also comes out of mount when going over rough terrain.

Yeah. I had the same issue. I just forced it. Once I did that, it wont come out for nothing.

I use a flat screwdriver to lift the red handle over raised elongated bead and reverse to take trailer off

We did not have your exact issue, but we had problems getting it detached, so we had to shave down the tab on the trailer that the pin slides over to make it easier.

Yes, I have the same problem and I plan to call them when I get a chance....so far this has just been inside due to weather, but once it gets nice it will get used all the time and it needs to stay on...if I find a answer I will post it here.

I would get on to the company if I were you. We have attached our hitch and it is working fine but it has been on there for a long time and we do not have the instructions anymore. See if they can give you something clearer.

Once you have attached the hitch pin to your rear axle and tightened the nut it should not move. The axle side of the hitch pin has grooves to help keep it from moving, plus the trailer towing arm will naturally want to stay in a level trailing position. Check the instruction manual to make sure you have everything connected properly. http://img1.wfrcdn.com/docresources/7715/1/14551.pdf

I had the same warning from Amazon Garage, but I took the chance (since a lot of other evidence suggested it would) and it worked. When I first tried to attach it, it seemed like it might be the wrong part, because the connections were not facing the wrong direction, and the support was extended a little too far. Once I attached it to the bottom connection, it was easier to rotate the rod so the top connection lined up, and I had to push the tailgate way up so that it was barely enough to slip the top connection on. Works great now.

I had great difficulty at first but gradually learned how to attach the grass catcher. I think the trick is to tilt the back slightly up and make certain the catcher is centered properly. Also make sure the top lines up with the raised part of the mower. Once you get the knack of it, it's not so difficult.

Some hitches the bolt doesn't go through far enough for the lock to snap into place. Leave one of the washers off and if still not enough you can grind on the side of the lock a little to create more room. Key is sometimes to get in and out,but so far have been able to work it out. Hope this helps.

I do not have the hitch as this location at this time, but this was a problem with me and what i did was put put the hitch onto the ATV 'upside down' which lowered it effectively.BHM

Need a long thin screw driver . It was kind of difficult to find the screws because they are deep. The truck only went in forward, did not turn or reverse. Good Luck

My son had this tractor since October and my husband nor I have found an easy way of getting to the battery. You seem to be doing all the same frustrating things we are doing with no easy fix in sight. I was so disappointed with this tractor. I hope you can find an easier way because we have given up with this thing as it has broken in many places that it's almost unacceptable for my son to safely ride it anymore. Good luck to you I hope you have better luck then we did, our son is so disappointed.

Make sure the gate is tightened sufficiently to close, also that the gate is straight, perpendicularly and horizontally. My gate became lose once because the top tighteners moved out of place over Thanksgiving. Too, many people working the gate - pushing and pulling in the wrong directions etc... I plan to install the holders for a more permanent fix soon. If this does not help, please report your situation to Amazon. They are great at helping you solve such problems. And, committed to your satisfaction.

Barbara: Unfortunately there are no guarantees that the jack cannot be unbolted from the trailer frame and "stolen". However that kind of effort would take some going. When installing the jack simply tighten the bolts securely and you shouldn't have to worry.

Move the trailer connection first!!! Also use a pipe for leverage on the bolts. They are really tight. All hardware included. It takes about an hour. A second set of hands is really helpful.

We had the same problem and had to fold the box spring in half in order to get it started. You might have to try pulling the cover on in several different directions, but we were able to get it started once we folded it in half and then finished pulling it on as we flattened the box spring back out.

The hitch is mounted to the rear axle, so the connection point will be about five inches closer to the ground with the smaller wheels and the bottom of the trailer will be slightly tilted forward. I do not think this is a serious problem or indeed a problem at all.

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!

I tightened the small handle on the sway bar to be tight. Then after I drove my 28' trailer on the highway, I found it was still swaying, so I had to adjust the hex nut on the lower portion of the sway bar even tighter to bring the swaying under control. I would say you will need to haul your trailer a few times with each time adjusting the lower hex nut a 1/2 of a turn, till you get your preference. Good luck.

It really won't add any strength to the tractor hitch since almost all the weight will be transferred to your existing hitch. the horizontal braces shown in the picture really just keep the hitch from moving side to side.
