Mario designed and built this interesting mobile power unit. It can pull or tow with its two coupling balls, hook and hitch. Two hydraulic couplings allow you to attach your implement to the hydraulic power pack that is powered by a gasoline engine.
Great project, Mario! Thanks for sharing it with us.
