I have 6 of these and only need 4 of them, they work great and are well built. I have all the hardware to mount them and warranty information. I tried to upload their brochure but it is to large. Ill try it later
I see grass sharks point... if they are vertical the water will fill the head and possible seep into the shaft of trimmer and start to rust. where as if they are horizontal the heads are facing the ground and the guard keeps most of the rain off the head so that nothing gets inside.
If the ground is wet and you hit a puddle, would you not get more water in the trimmer head with it being a foot and a half off the ground versus 3 1/2 feet to 4'? Simple physics says yes. When I hit a big puddle the bottom half of my trailer gets soaked with mud and water. I was just asking if you had any problems, and yes my trimmers get wet in the rain, but that doesn't mean I dip the trimmer heads in a 5 gallon bucket of water. And in the rain that type of rack will allow more water to get into the shafts of most trimmers compared to horizonal racks.
Sorry if I came off as being a jerk Grass Shark but I have had one of these racks on my trailer since late January with a tirmmer that was given to me for the sole purpose of seeing how this thing would work. To keep debri and splash from hitting the motor I was given a splash guard that goes in front of the trimmer and that keeps what little splash there is from hitting the motor. Im sure he would send you one to try if you want.
Looks nice. I would try and mount it right on top of the rail horizontally. How much with shipping to upstate new york? I'm interested.
