[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2018068, member: 8481"] Good luck. It should be a couple days in the building in class and you should be in the lot by Wednesday getting used to double clutching a tractor. Piece of cake with the tractors we have now. I pulled boats and campers all my life, so pulling a trailer was a piece of cake. I was used to backing also. That might take some practice. You turn the wheel the opposite way you want the rear of the trailer to go. Some guys struggle with backing. Just take your time. The weirdest part for me was getting used to how high I was off the ground in the tractor. Quick funny story. In feeders about 5 years and had to back a Big Bob (26 ft straight truck) onto the dock. While backing, I turned the wheel the wrong way, my mindset was a trailer, and damn near hit the trailer on the other side. [/QUOTE]
