I'm curious about others experiences with electric trailer dolly's. I have
a boat/trailer that weights about 3700 lbs and
to get it into my garage, I have to back it up a driveway with about a 20%
incline. Do any of these electric dolly's, such as Power Wheel's Powrhitch
work for this kind of load to push/pull with an incline? The driveway is
concrete.
My clutch and I appreciate any comments and suggestions... My apologies if
I'm posting to the wrong newsgroup.

Thanks,

Ron

You might also searching out some RV news groups and asking this
question there....

I used one of those mules at the Santa Cruz yacht club, and they worked
marginally on any kind of incline, and I mean slight! My boat was a SC
27, wighing 3,000# and a trailer of about 1500#. The one electric one
we had might have been able to handle a 20% slope. The gasoline ones
were honda 5 hp. They work well, but don't have much guts. I do think
they have governors on them limiting their real ability, but since the
yard is essentially flat, it wasn't too much of a problem.

good luck!

I'd be afraid of any real incline with one, if the thing breaks
traction, you're screwed!!
