Re: Another hobby of mine

One for the thread. Have enjoyed this one for many years. A lot of mowing and grading the drive way. The 4 cylinder engine is beautiful. The pto clutch clutch setup is not the best on these units from what I have read, but it has served me well.

Re: WD Hitch

I also have an e2 hitch and have been very pleased with it. When putting on and removing the bars I leave the trailer attached to the ball and use the trailer jack to raise the trailer tongue and the rear of the truck. This takes tension off the bars and makes them easy to remove and install.

Re: LED Lighting
