Close call trailering! - Lesson Learned

Posted by jCarroll on July 03, 2001 at 17:56:23 from (152.163.206.184):

Was trailering my JD 40U to tomorrow's parade site
this afternoon, when a guy turned in front of me.
I'm guessing I hit him at 25 mph, and I'll need to
replace the bumper, grill, hood, fender, and all
the glass and plastic on my 98 F150. Air bags did
not deploy.

The tractor broke the 3/8" log chain holding it
back, and moved about 3' forward until the front
tires hit the trailer frame.

If I had been going 40 mph, the tractor would have
been in the bed of my truck.

If I had been going 60 mph, I wouldn't be writing
this.

From now on, I will have HEAVY DUTY restraints to
keep the tractor from moving forward. Any
suggestions other than larger
