    True. When I first had the conestoga put on my trailer I would tell the forklift operator don’t be bumping my trailer, that’s aluminum and bends easily! Those boneheads wants to tilt the forks back then go up against the trailer and start tilting down while the mast rubbed the trailer bending the guide rails down, just really ticked me off.

    I’m getting ready to set the conestoga back on my trailer, but first have to straighten an upper guide rail from where a boneheaded forklift operator dropped a heavy steel chunk on the edge smashing it down about 1/2” at least.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, just because you know how to start the engine and put it in gear that doesn’t make you an operator…..

    Looks like he needs his timing advanced a couple degrees

    Looks like you may be over fueling that a bit. Looks to be a tad on the heavy side.

    We’ve tried to get some of that weight off of him. From what I’ve read it’s very common for older heelers to have trouble with their weight. Till 2 years ago he was 50 lbs of solid steel

    No, right on the sweet spot. Them rabbits he dreaming about are just drifting down like snowflakes, a steady stream.
