Do you spin your landing gear handle?

A buddy of mine switched trailers with the owner of the carrier he was leased to. He spun the crank with one hand. The owner saw and yelled at him to stop it. "You're the dirty SOB who has been leaving your greasy mitts on these clean trailers!"

My buddy had to learn how to do it without leaning on the trailer.

 

Me too. Ive gotten good at keeping handle turning. Landing gear up in a minute or less. RAISE YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR LIKE YOU JUST DON'T CARE!!!!!

 

Perhaps for you, MACK. But I've got to tell you that NONE of my relatives have ever been "Normal"

 

That's the way I used to do it with the trailer I used to pull, now the new one I pull has a longer shaft length on it so can't do it that way. Although it don't bother me cranking it normal now since the landing gear sits low, and I hardly ever unhook from trailer, so just take the time to crank it.

 

Ha, yes I have, more than once. Main reason why I no longer rush to do my job, accidents happen that way.

 

This is a spinner

 

I do it the Schneider way of one hand flat on the trailer with arm extended....then two fingers on the side of the crank and spin like hell in high range!

 

No but I have splashed my crotch pretty good on a rainy day forgetting to dump the handle!
