Your Prestige tongue does not already fold/swing for storage?

That's exactly what it looks like, a hydraulic quick connect. Works great for hydraulics on tractors and stuff, guess I just never considered it for brakes. Apparently it doesn't allow air in requiring bleeding? I know hydraulic disconnects on skid steer loaders are pretty easy, but that's a whole lot more fluid running around and strong pumps. I definitely want to go back with that coupling, especially if one existed at some point. Would make coupling up easier. |

Does not fold. Misses clearing my garage door by an inch with the platform removed. |

Gary,
Looking at your picture in your diary, I can't tell how the trailer tongue is set up since the picture isn't close enough . Can the tongue be unbolted and the reason for the quick connect? I have seen this set up but I can't remember on what make trailer. With the jack stand on the tongue, the main frame is blocked up and then the tongue is removed. |

we need pictures....as Pete stated...the diary is not close enough to zoom. From what I can see it looks like the bow stop comes out the top and then the tongue breaks vertically?

After zooming in again it looks to swing away horizontally.

Push the nose over and crank the tongue down, you can get that inch...

You are absolutely correct sir. The tongue is completely removable Two pins and undo the winch strap and slide it out I've installed jacks on each side to make it easy to move around the garage, so the problem will be solved by pulling out the tongue. I wonder about the quick coupler allowing air into the system, but to bleed the brakes once a year wouldn't be much of an issue even if required. Thanks so much, pictures on the way. Still learning my way around the site. Gary |
