That's not a wagon, THIS is a wagon.

Clark Griswold would call that the Country Estate Cruiser Sport Edition, or something like that!:p:p

Like the other guys said, backing up a 2- or 4- wheeled anything requires some practice!

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel when you back up. If you want the trailer to move left...move your hand left, right...etc. It's always been easier for me to do it that way.
And I also have a short trailer like that.....it's definitely a pain.
I plan picking up another trailer and adding onto mine...making it larger and tandem wheel. Then I can unhook it to load and re-hook when I want to move it. I need one I can fill with the FEL.

Practice makes perfect. My sons would take the Cub Cadet and the small trailer similar to that one and take turns backing it up and down the alley behind the house. Turn it into a game and have some fun learning. How ya gonna put a boat in the lake iffen ya cant backup?

I delivered a grain trailer and missed my driveway over shooting a half a mile and no place to turn around. It takes some time to go backwards a half mile.

The toughest thing I ever backed up was a M151 GP 1/4 ton (jeep) and trailer....You looked at the steering wheel backing up and you were jacked knifed.
