You will need some of those tractor counter weights to hook onto the front bumper, to keep the steering wheels on the ground.

Assuming you have a front steer car, then it makes manoeuvring a trailer in tight places so much easier, we had hitches on the front on most of our draw bar trucks, made easy work of it for those like me who mainly drove artics, Rick
