    Guys up north use them to know if the brakes get frozen. They can see the strap in the mirror.

    When I bought my tandem it had hydraulic openers on the traps. They had a socket stuck on the two speed openers with a spring and reflector welded to it so you could see when the door was open or closed. That trailer is a 1990....old school cool.

    The kid is still pulling that trailer.... It's still making coin...

    Here's the hydraulic unit out of it..

    I’d like to see that in action. Sounds cool.

    Gentlemen, since you boys are straight shooters, let me ask you this.

    Is being moved emotionally by a good country song grounds for the revocation of one’s man card?

    It was pretty simple....a hydraulic motor coupled to the low side of the gearbox with switches in the cab to control it. I was gonna put it on my triple but unloading once a day I didn't think it was worth the hassle. Here's the new motors I bought for it..
