Ron, could you explain this a bit more? I don't understand how 2 mowers got out of an enclosed trailer from turning a corner. Don't you tie them down? Was the back door open? Did they go right through the wall of your trailer? I can't figure this one out, I need your help.

Never use one of those blue poly tarps to cover your truck while driving. I've had one rip the side boards off a mason dump when it caught some wind. Right on the Garden State Parkway.

Sounds like you got off lucky if all you got was a couple dents and a dafety switch snaped off.:D

Need to batten down da hatches mo better when you travelin' down them roads. Good thing there wasn't a little old lady with a scag stuck in her teeth when you went back. She probably would have snaped your dafety swith and whooped your ars with it. :D

Be more careless next time...................gee whiz!

What kind of turn did you take?

Do the mowers not have brakes?

I can't understand how 2 mowers with brakes could escape an enclosed trailer in a single turn. I do normally strap my Scamper down just to keep it from moving around so much, can't see the Chariot moving much at all.

Glad they still work!

You sure this isn't a dream.... Did you have them in neutral? Isn't the super z a hydro?? I'm confused as well. Did you have twisty ties holding the chains on or something, sounds kinda crazy....

Ok Ron, this is what happened to me today. I needed to use my Gator, but my trailer is stored on soft ground and I don't want ot tear up the lawn. I borrowed some ramps and backed it on my truck. When I got over the wheel hump, in the bed, the back end of the gator hit my sliding rear window (just the center window) and broke it. I've never put this in my truck before. I saw a Deere ad that had the Gator backed in , thats why I did it that way. I put it in head first and it fits great. I learned a $189 lesson today!
