Telescoping Gooseneck HITCHES Hitches 25-5-27 "I was going through my old story files and came across this idea from a few years ago which I think is still relevant today," says veteran farm writer C.F. Marley of Nokomis, Ill.
"Bob Mowen of Kane, Ill., built a telescoping hitch for his gooseneck flatbed trailer so he could tilt the bed for easy loading of machinery," says Marley. "The photo shows the gooseneck in the raised position. A hydraulic cylinder mounts alongside the hitch, which telescopes upward. Power is supplied by a 12-volt powered hydraulic pump that mounts on front of the trailer.
"He used this setup for a long time with good success. Seems like this is an idea that should have caught on big time. It's a lot cheaper than a beaver tail on back or other loading devices on the market."
