  1. Yes up and down ladders 50 times !
  2. lifting 6 inch Ibeam up to 8 foot height safely was with two (2) hoists. I stayed above the beam while lifting . One end sits on bracket secured to 6 x 6 post w (2) 1/2 inch bolts and beam bolted directly to the 6 x 6 post with 3/8 in bolt to prevent lateral or rotational movement on support bracket. Most anticipated loads are less than 1000 lbs; e.g. , zero turn mower, motor cycles (loading and unloading on trailer), and front end of Sand rail. 3/4 tn rachet hoist and trolly from Harbor freight. The antique drill press from Grandpa...LOL
  3. Yeah...when the trailer weighs as much as the towing vehicle weight I get worried especially when the trailer does not have brakes. I think I'll look at moving the axle forward on my 16 foot bed length single axle and just use the Tundra when towing both sxs and ATV. I will need t pick up a 6 x 10 light trailer for xnprng the sxs.
  4. Maybe I should give up on the Highlander towing idea. The Tundra has the factory electric brake controller with adjustable gain and manual brake over ride. The Highlander does not have that. Towing in W Va brakes are nice. Two years ago I came upon an accident. A guy towing an off road Jeep CJ 5 with a Minivan He lost it on a sharp curve. His daughter in back seat died when the sliding door opened and then shut on her.
  5. Yes but Grandma likes my Highlander. So I would like to haul the S X S and my foreman . So I am thinking a light 16 ft trailer that the Highlander can tow. .... SXS 1450 Lb...ATV 650 lb
  6. Yes it was a real B.__ll buster to install. ( no female version of that term LOL). 9 foot I beam so I have 8 ft usable space. Sits on 4x 4 post and angle iron bolted 1/2 inch bots at other end.
  7. Yeah I haave to tow it with the Tundra
  8. Well, while on my knees I can backbend and get down with shoulders on floor. It's getting back up that is the hardest part. Practicing with the belly dancing class girls...I have shoulders like a Linebacker ..OMG 😵‍💫 New year's resolution: Loose weight and do more Yoga.
  9. Hey just adding a Trolly / I beam lift in barn. Tractor would not lift high enough so I "Gerry Rigged" . I stayed above it when liftin incase some gave way.
  10. I am not flexible...muscular and can backbend with my shoulders almost on floor. Belly dancing move LOL
  11. I worked so hard to get it done....AGGGHH!
  12. She's wearing legings ..Agh ...Tight leggings 🙃 Pretty girl and muscular...I'm jealous
  13. Well I am upset as I installed electric brakes and new wheel bearings / seals. And bought two new 15 inch wheels... new rims and rubber. But the axle is too far back and the trailer is too heavy empty 2 x 6box tube frame . I looked for a bare frame with the idea of taking the axle off and mounting on a new aluminum frame but cannot find one. Finding a naked frame is hard.
  14. OMG ! NO...! That looks painful!
  15. No the S X S needs a min. of 10 foot X 6 ft. But SXS only weighs 1500 Lb. My 16 foot flat bed trailer will haul it as well as my ATV. But even empty my 16 ft single axle that I built up from a scrapped boat trailer is too heavy for the High lander. It has electric brakes that I installed and Dexter axle 15 inch wheels.
  16. TS also has another brand of trailers with fold down side rails. I looked at them recently. They have 'V frame tongue. Some models have Folding tail gate. The tall gate is only an issue on long trips. Northern Supply has aluminum and steel trailers with out decking fairly cheap. However, with an aluminum frame you only save 125 Lbs. on 5 x 8 trailer. However if I buy another trailer 6 X 10 it will be aluminum so I can tow with Highlander if needed,
  17. It had telarge wheels. Its light duty but handy. It has the 1 7/8 inch ball hitch. I like the bigger ball. TS also has another brand of trailers with fold down side rails. I looked at them recently. They have 'V frame tongue.
  18. Typiclly screwing in leans it out and CCW makes it richer. But I would at least run/ soak fuel system in Sea Foam before adjusting. How is air cleaner etc>?
  19. Grandma had me buy a Tractor 5 X 8 trailer. We were in Ohio. We drove south about 125 miles and found the wheel bolts were loose and had wallowed out the lugs so the wheel could not be tightened. We made it to a TS. The trailer was loaded but the TS guys swapped the trailer out for us. No questions. the trailer has a straight tongue but I have used it to carry the Foreman . The loading gate is a wind dam when empty unless when empty i lay it down . I repainted the trailer and the expanded metal deck has remained good condition.
  20. But very dexterous feet...I can pick up a cigar with my toes and hold it . I'm part monkey I think.
  21. It's kind of embarrassing at the beach my feet are so boxy guys stare at me....They think with my leg muscles I am a swimmer ...I cannot swim...I dog Paddle... and I really float well. But thanks for the compliment..
  22. Amazon and Walmart (WMT) have small Bat operated tach/hr meters. $20.00 ! I'll buy from WMT as I am 'Buy and Hold on WMT stock' I can mount it on a pcs of plexiglas on the Foreman. I was a little apprehensive as the Tach i just got for the Sand Rail was expensive. I laminated (Epoxy) diamond plate to a pcs of Redwood to make a dashboard panel. Don't laugh at the panel. Its not Mike the explorer quality by any means. Its mounted on rubber to reduce vibration. Still wiring it. Working with my hands keeps my mind out of trouble Grandma says...
  23. That is a good Idea. I like the "tool" application...Mo tools LOL.
  24. I wonder if there is aa Tach available. I like looking at his performance.
