The other day daddy Dave was driving out to work on a couple clients landscapes, while driving there was a loud boom and a dragging sound. After a quick look in the review mirror to was obvious my trailer had fallen off the truck!!! After pulling off onto the side of the road the situation was accessed.
Daddy Dave is still not sure what exactly happened or didn't happen but it's obvious that it wasn't hooked up right. After a few well placed jacks and blocks the trailer was rehooked and daddy Dave was back in business. The pin type lock which locks the hitch into place had snapped in half? I guess the hitch had not seated fully on the ball before it was locked and during the trip down the steep driveway it came off the ball and while in motion the trailer fell off the bumper. Tisk amateurs......... I'm glad those safty chains were in place and worked or it could have been pretty bad.
