I copied the idea and fitted one to my L3200, it is so useful and allows me to carry a chainsaw, bar oil and a gas can. It still has room for a few other tools or maybe a jacket. I recently fitted another 2 same...

    I'm confused with the Implementation Limitation information in my Operators Manual. Sorry if I'm being repetative as I raised this on several prior threads that were not directly about the tow limits. The maximum trailer load is quoted at 2,200lbs but ignores the actual trailer weight, this...
