Yep,I went out today and used 2x4s to mock up angles (my trig stink's). Sure enough 30 degree tilt will hit the ground in rear and require 26 inches of cylinder stroke. 30 deg is approaching an ecceptical angle but 26" stroke I can't handle. I've watched CraigsList for a month without seeing a scissor for sale and I'm not spending new price for one.

Most of our farm trailers were shop built resulting in us pulling extra weight every where we go. My nephew's factory trailer he pull's the Bobcat on look's flemsy beside the other trailers that were shop built. Anywho,I've read enough horror stories about twin cylinders on sides that I havn't considered those eventhough they are simple to set up. And the head scratching continues.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
