Only if the trailer is long enough to back the unit up far enough to get enough weight on the tongue. I’ll disagree with the standard 10-15%. Lots of experience towing many different things. Bumper and 5er. Boats tend to be much lighter up front. 8% is not uncommon. Toy haulers tend to be nose...

Give me your tired, your poor, your mangled spider gears yearning to breathe free….

.30 MORE per foot. Not .30 per foot. Comparing the difference between two products from the same place. I stand corrected at .40 per foot after looking back. And that is for the roll, unfortunately.

I was comparing 1.69/ ft. to 2.09/ ft. When I checked back, I saw the note that the burst protection min order is 300 feet. Probably that is a whole roll. There is a local Ag Indistrial hydraulic shop near me. If I get some time to stop in when they are open, I will. Even at 3 bucks it is not...

And I thought both products protected against injury to the operator. I don't know what the OP wants. I do know that I wish I had known the differences in the sleeve material and what each specifically was intended for. Its not much to go with one that protects from ruptures. At only $0.30 more...

I'm going to assume the trailer might weigh 3000 at most. With a 4000 load on it, that makes 7000. I don't know of a 1/2 ton that wouldn't pull that just fine. Stop it too. Thing is, you are likely going to overload the rear axle of a 1/2 ton truck. The problem is *what* you are towing. It's...

Learn something every day. There are some that do, and some that don't protect against injury from oil spray.

My understanding is that the sleeves are to protect from highly pressurized oil spray. Not necessarily to protect the hoses.

This is where I bought mine. https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/NPS-106.htm

The technology is complicated to explain, but I can tell you these two things: There has not been a single, proven instance where a card has been used fraudulently after skimming via RFID. Even if the skim were successful AND the person were able to duplicate it, the card could only be owed...

Hope you were wearing brown pants!

Ya gotta mulch up all the weeds before tilling!

So as long as he wasn't running from the ATF under charges of trmerrorism.....😉

Yep, that's what I mean. Thinking about it a bit, it may not work that way because the extractor tank is where the vacuum comes from. Any residual fluid pulled out would end up un the tank without some sort of intermediate reservoir. And, you'd have to be able to pull enough vacuum to pull the...

That's still a decent vacuum. I'm sure there wasn't any difference in the end result. Out of curiosity- were you able to fill the extractor prior to pulling the vacuum? That would make it super simple!
