 Topic: Car on snowmobile trailer
Posted: 06 Nov 2018 at 8:11pm |
Saw this in the Hudson, WI Walmart parking lot on Saturday Nov 3, 2018. Who knew an eight foot by eight foot snowmobile trailer could hold a Saturn. For those who think 'only in Wisconsin' the car has Minnesota plates on it.

Yeah those springs are probably flat as a fritter. It's amazing some people make it past puberty

I see things like this and think; People actually get by with this? When I bought my 'equipment trailer', One of the things I liked about it was the tires. Got it home ok. First time I took it to a sale, 5 miles down the road blew the tread of one of those tires. With all the other assorted tire problems I seem to have I don't like to take chances! Saw a guy at a farm sale once with a car trailer, only had three tires on it! I know how that would have worked out for me!

Sadly it won't be the person pulling it that will get hurt or killed......

Other day was behind a car on a trailer going down I 94 - looking at the tie downs - looked like Harbor Freight 1" ratchet straps - did have them crossed though and using 4 of them - 2 front / 2 rear
Yes I sped up and changed lanes and got as far away as fast as I could .

"Darwin Award" candidate there for sure.
When folks see how some of these newer vehicles are rated, they tend to push it in my opinion. At the sale barn with a load of steers recently and stunned to see how many "heavy halfs" had goosenecks latched onto them in the parking lot.

Well I forgets to take any tie downs at all, and my shoe strings didn't have a problem at all keepin thet thing on the trailer that I seen. Jest had stop an tighten one tho.
