A few updates.....The trailer towed beautifully!! Took road bumps and such like a Cadillac.
After My first event (had a 2nd place finish in my class)...I found that my mower had so much power that I had a real hard time keeping the front end on the ground.
After looking at my seat height I realized it was way up there!! I ended up doing a few mods to the factory bracket and removing all the foam on the seat bottom. These mods gave me almost 2" drop in my butt height! I also moved my seat forward 2.5". I'm 6' tall and having the seat back just was so much more comfortable for my height...but that moved most of my weight right behind the axle...So now with the seat forward..it should help keep some more weight forward and the front end down!!!
The downside to moving the seat forward is that my pedals were almost impossible to use in a comfy and safe way. Also my DIGATRAON tach was now interfering with the newly contoured shifter......So.... I cut and welded up some new pedals this evening. They feel perfect!!! Had to move the tach to the steering wheel. overall feels great...my only concern is the seat back...While sitting on the mower, I feel to "FITTED" to the seat and wonder If I can even fall out if I wreck...I'm going to give it a run in a couple weeks at a test/tune/awards day for our LC. We will see how she does!!
I also went from a 1" tall foot guard to a 2" tall one.
