Added a Front Mounted Receiver Hitch for Tight Parking Spots

I added a Draw-Tite front mounted receiver hitch to my F350. I have a crew cab/long bed and have very limited parking at home. I have two "L's" to drive through to get to my parking spot. I pushed my trailer backwards (front of truck to front of trailer) and it was done very easily with very limited effort on the part of the truck. While doing this I'm also fighting an uphill grade. I post this for anyone that has a tight parking spot. The front mounted hitch worked great and my auto tranny was not even worked compared to the manuver I had to do while it was in reverse.
