[@rickfletcher5053]

Great idea!!!! One little suggestion, even while on trailer keep your equipment chained to trailer, I have had people try and steal my lawn equipment off my trailer. Another guy had all his stuff stolen while he was weed eating in the backyard. Just a suggestion.

[@mlintonlawncare]

Equipment always locked

[@grasshoppercrews1296]

Easy peasy with safety cable nice n safe ! Thanks for sharing marg !!

[@mlintonlawncare]

Thanks Deputy! Got to have the cables!!

[@KenMrKLC]

Nice job, I’m happy to see the cable for safety in between the spring.

[@mlintonlawncare]

Thx man! The cable is a must!!

[@lawnkingslandscaping8328]

[@billyhenard1473]

Hi
I cant find the 5/8 eye bolts at Lowes,Biggest I can find is 1/2 which is where the link takes me.

[@jeremypociask9873]

That was a good video that was a good idea with the spring for the gay on the trailer the trailer I hope you and your family have a blessed night

[@mlintonlawncare]

Thanks!!

[@GRASSGRINDTV]

Awesome idea , great video!

[@mlintonlawncare]

Thanks man!!

[@johnjohnson7230]

Does the safety cable get tangled when you raise the gate? How does that work?

[@mlintonlawncare]

Not at all.

[@codywwefancox6825]

I hope you be safe in the rain

[@Lipsey9]

Awesome.thinks for the video.

[@mlintonlawncare]

Thx Lipsey!

[@billyhenard1473]

Hi
After using this for over a year is there anything that you would do different ?
Does drilling the 5/16-5/8 inch holes weaken the trailer ?
I have a 6.4x12 Dovetail trailer.
I also have spinal Stenosis and it is all and I mean all I can do to raise the loading gate.
Thanks

[@mlintonlawncare]

No weakness at all. The only thing I will do before next season is replace the springs.

[@billyhenard1473]

@@mlintonlawncare
Why are you having to replace the springs ?
Did they get weaker or break ?
Think heavier springs would be better ?
Thanks

[@mlintonlawncare]

@@billyhenard1473 springs are fine, just me being safe.

[@billyhenard1473]

@@mlintonlawncare
For my use I probably wont be opening and closing the Loading Gate maybe 100-150 times a year
Maybe I can get 2 or 3 years out of the springs ?
Thank you much for taking the time to talk with me .
And by the way, Great Video

[@mlintonlawncare]

@@billyhenard1473 I think I can go another season but they are so cheap it’s safer to replace them. I’ve had them for 2 seasons.

[@DulinCutAndTrim]

That's pretty cool man

[@mlintonlawncare]

Thx bro! Simple, cheap and works great!!

[@TheDAExperience]

The fact yall did this in he rain.

[@jameswilson2339]
