Actually, yeah, not for heavy load pushing, more
for final maneuvering of the trailer. However,
it'd be nice to set it up with the strength to be
able to put strain on the chassis like it is on
the rear. However that needs the bloody huge
casting and the two diagonal mounts. A front
Pintle seems like an incredibly good idea for
moving around trailers and assisting in recovery.
