Finally got around to renting a firewood splitter for 4 hours this afternoon. It's the type with a nice little Honda 5.5hp motor that splits going both ways and is licensed as a trailer for the road. First problem...it has a 2" coupler while I have a 1&7/8th" hitch ball. Figured what the heck, I'll wrap the safety chain a bit tighter and drive the short distance at 40 km per hr. Squeezed the unit past my sailboat and into the back yard where I had a pile of large ash branches cut up after a storm. Went well ..even the 20" diameter stuff, although the pieces were heavy lifting, carrying and placing on the splitter. When taking back the unit I slightly overshot their driveway so I tried to back up. What a stupid thing to do with a trailer I couldn't see behind me. Yep..I jacknifed, dented and scraped my van hatch door and broke a backup light. (I believe it's all one unit with the taillight) BBAAWWWAHHHHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!!! Um...er...oh, gee Don - sorry to hear that. BBBAAAWWWWAAAHHHHAAAAA!!!!! Really - I'm very.... BBBAAAWWWAAAHHHHHHAAAAA!!!! Peace be with you and your family this season. Same to you. If it makes you feel any better, I jack knifed my Ranger trailer this past season and took out my tail gate on my F-250. Not a whole lot....well maybe a little. |
