    also if you turn your wheels and this did happen the trailer should probably jackknife and hopeful slow or stop the vehicle
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    keep a can of fly spray handy to use on those wasp nests. snipping, mowing or hedging isn't any fun going past these buggers.

    For longer periods between washes apply a double coating of scotchguard to the front and back of your "y" fronts before a hot date on a Friday night.

    Whether you catch or mulch, mowing dry grass will always be easier and more effective than mowing wet grass.

    Irrespective of the choice of mower, it is important to keep the blades sharp. Dull blades cause ‘feathering’ of the cut leaf (i.e. ragged and damaged cut leaf edges) and produce an uneven look to the lawn surface. The torn leaf edges will lose a lot of water, allowing diseases to enter into the plant.

    actually i think it mulches damp grass better after removing it less clumping, with the ramp in it tends to collect grass between the ramp and the mulching plug then drop this on the ground when you turn the mower off [ usually as you walk across a clean driveway or path]
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
