Just a reminder for new tractor owners, I recently saw a pic of somebody moving a BIG Travel Trailer with a BX tractor. Just cuz you can move it on level ground doesn't mean you will be able to stop it on a hill. The 3 point hitch has a lot of tonque weight capability but your tractor only has brakes sized to stop the tractor and attachmnets and ballast weight. And brakes only on the back wheels(you can put it in 4wd for more traction to stop). That camper must have weighed 6000 - 8000 lbs. Could become deadly, even going up a hill things cud get out of hand.
