Reply:I like your work Ed, but how can you have "3 rare palms" when you anly have 2 hands?......is there something you're not telling us??Lincoln SA 200Esab Caddy 160Thermal Arc 201TSMiller Dialarc HFI don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around the courtroom....

Reply:Originally Posted by smokin_dodgeI wouldn't be surprised if he comes back in a few weeks with busted welds - looking at how well he treats his trailerYou should re-evaluate your design for the rail racks i.e. the blower rack and the trimmer rack. With how tall they are there is a very high likelihood they will eventually break from the back and forth movement while driving. One common way to secure them is to make the base extend roughly 1/3 below the railing.I'm also willing to bet he will bust the lights off within a few days, or at least crack a lens or two. Probably would have been better to locate the lights a little farther in on the trailer.

Reply:ed mac  -   The reason why the palms are rare is because they have all been transplanted and died.   OpusLast edited by OPUS FERRO; 06-12-2012 at 09:41 PM.Reason: sp.
