Abstract
A trailer assembly is provided for towing a vehicle having a lift arm which can be raised and lowered. The trailer assembly utilizes a front and rear frame support which are coupled to opposite ends of the frame of the vehicle being towed. A support leg, which is pivotally mounted to the front frame support, is coupled to the lift arm of the vehicle so that a support end of the support leg engages the ground, lifting the front frame support and causing the vehicle being towed to be raised off the ground. The rear frame support also has wheels which can be retracted and extended to facilitate lifting of the vehicle.
