2024年4月18日 · In another thread some time ago, @bsms asked what I think was a rhetorical question related to a lot of people saying you really need a 3/4 ton truck or higher to tow a horse trailer. The question was, well, OK, so what did people do back in ye olde days before such trucks existed (I'm paraphrasing).

2011年11月5日 · Interesting on those vehicles behind the cattle, having the piece on the outside of the wheels. Used on both wooden (older) wheels and the car tired wagon. Wonder if the purpose is bracing for strength? Those folks look pretty poor, so any animal power has to help in moving things and not costing money for fuel.

2011年3月24日 · We were miles from the nearest road. His wife took the guys horse and tied him to a tree, while his daughter rode back to their truck, drove all the way back (it took twice as long for her to get back). It took 2 hours for their daughter to arrive with the truck. All this time the guy and his wife's horses were tied. Neither of them caused a ...

2020年4月21日 · My neighbor dropped a tree right across his pickup truck bed one time. And talking about wood. I was helping another neighbor make a wood bed for his old truck and I was underneath drilling up through a 4 x 4 with a 2 x 4 he was holding down and he decided it was easier to sit on the 2 x 4.

A smaller pick up and a 2 horse bumper pull can be towed on a normal flat bed (YAY!!). Anything bigger could require 2 tow trucks, one for the truck and one for the trailer.

2015年2月8日 · I like the Heacock trailers I have seen. I almost bought a used one but decided to wait. I researched the company and they have a low rating for customer satisfaction.

2019年1月4日 · Yeah, you'd have to upgrade your truck for a trailer like that. FORTUNATELY most of the places we camp now have pull-through parking spots as well as the type you back into, or I'd be forked. My brain won't think 'turn the wheel opposite of the direction you want the trailer to go' - though the goosenecks ARE a lot easier because I can see them.

2025年2月8日 · Thanks @carshon!That's very encouraging. I hope I can recover that well. My surgeon thinks I'll be mostly rehabbed by 3 months.

2013年8月6日 · I used vet wrap for a while, before moving on to a fluffy Velcro on cover. I think the cover works better, but I miss being able to swap colors of vetwrap and be festive with it. :lol:

2012年10月17日 · In the second photo you can see I am draging a shovel, a bucket and a logging chain. We went down the asphalt street to make all kinds of noise, getting ready for parades and crowds. We looked like Stanford and Son's Junk wagon.
