"Drive-Through" Trailer Makes Mower-Hauling Easier
 ✖  |
“My sons Gunnar and Conrad have a lawn mowing business with 2 riding mowers. The problem was our small 2-wheeled, homemade trailer had room for only one mower,” says Eric Pederson, Englevale, N. Dak. “As a result, they had to haul one mower in the pickup and the other in the trailer. It was cumbersome to unhook the trailer to load the pickup.
“To solve the problem, I made a hinged, latch-operated panel on front of the trailer that folds forward onto the pickup’s tailgate. Now the boys can drive one mower up onto the trailer and right into the pickup without having to unhook the trailer.”
He used plywood set inside a U-channel frame to build the panel and 3/8-in. steel rod to make the latch system that’s used to release it from brackets on both sides of the trailer.
