Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I like that Gravely walk behind brush hog. You could get a sulky for them and ride.

The best part of summer is watching Dragon and Robber flys catch prey. They have no fear of humans. Land on your shoulder while mowing, just checking things out.

a '60's era fiat 500 is only around 1000-1200 lbs. seriously doubt you need trailer brakes for something so lite, especially behind a coach. my quad hauler is a single axle rated at 3500lbs and we have just over 2000lbs of quads on it when loaded. then i stick my car topper boat on top of it as well, and a couple hundred more lbs of gear and assorted junk. and i don't have trailer brakes either, but my tow pig is a little over twice the weight of the trailer loaded, so we're still legal....in BC anyways. them tires look similar to mine and are 15 inchers, but HD, D-load rated for 2540lbs per tire. mind ya, i rarely exceed 55mph, and not cause of the trailer, hard to go faster than 55 with a T400, 4:56's and a 205 t-case... also run a 8" drop hitch to tie the truck to the trailer |

My comment about singles (I own one) behind motor homes is you don’t feel much if a tire goes you screwed . Seen several singles destroyed because of driver error . Even with my dual axle trailer behind the coach I watch the rear camera religiously. I have no problem towing a single behind my car or truck wouldn’t do it with the motorhome I even have an air brake setup hooked into the Jeep if I tow that . It has an air cylinder that actuates the brake peddle . And also stops the vehicle if it detaches from the coach. This is from an RV resource site looks like most of Canada has the same rules https://support.rvpartshop.com/suppo...state-province

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I think I've posted this before. If so, here it is again. If I recall correctly he then hooked the truck to the motorhome.

last yr we had to stop at a milfoil inspection at the scales cause we had our boat. the CVSE guy said i was fine with my set-up. and ya, i know what you mean about not feeling it. with just my trailer and no camper, you don't even notice the trailer back there, which is why i constantly mirror check and run tires that are HD and never more than a few yrs old cvse rules for here; Brakes not needed if gross trailer weight of 1,400 kg (3,080 Ibs) or less – Brakes are required if the trailer and its load weigh more than 50% of the licensed weight of the vehicle towing it. |

I stopped in on these two older brothers who's place I've passed by for years. first time earlier, I met Josh and only saw what was out front. He welcomed me to stroll through the back, as he had his supper waiting. But I declined saying I'd rather go back with him (get the royal tour). I stopped back in on Monday and this time it was Ivan who met me. We talked a while, then needed to get busy, and he offered me to talk a walk in back. This time I did. I got 90, I think, pictures. What a treasure trove of old equipment they have gathered. I need to start a thread on this place

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
This is random, but this little toyota lives a few houses down from me. Been admiring it as I walk or jog by for a couple years. Never saw it drive until this week. It was driven by an elderly gentleman probably in his 80’s at least. Probably bought it new. Definitely taken care of. It would be a perfect little parts store runner.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I went to the UK home opener Saturday and from my location in the cheap seats, I could view one of the parking lots. This shows that all modern days cars are all black, white or some shade of silverish gray.
