I dunno, maybe it's not my place to let this cat out of the bag, but we had a bit of a problem loading the tractor. I don't have any room up here in the hills to load/unload. So, I do it down along the highway right on the shoulder of the road. Okay, it is pitch black out there when the lad gets here with the trailer and he positions it about 6" from the white line edge of the pavement. Fine, let's get 'er loaded and get it on it's way. We both agree that the rear axle of the tractor should be spotted right over the front axle of the trailer. I started to pull the tractor on. That's when things went wrong in a big way. :>( Don't know if the hitch wasn't hooked completely or if it was "worn" or just what, but when I got the rear axle of the tractor just on the rear edge of the trailer, the damned thing came unhooked and reared up in the air. There I set, half on and half off the trailer, cars are whizzin' by about a foot away from the end of the tractor axle and I've got a loose gooseneck floppin' around in the breeze! Brakes aren't set on the trailer and I'm playin' "big boy teeter-toter". So, I just crept forward until that trailer gently lowered back down into the box of the pickup. Anyway, after we got the hitch thing resolved and back on the ball I continued loading and the lad kept telling me to get 'er forward. Way forward. I really think he was concerned about that ball coming unhooked going down the road, so he spotted it way forward like that so the weight would hold the trailer down on the ball. This is why I've been so darned worried about this tractor haul. :>( Allan

It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
