T
he M1000 heavy equipment transport semitrailer is a rugged beast.
But it’ll meet its match if you try to load a tracked vehicle improperly.
Some drivers try to drive onto the
semitrailer without first making sure
their vehicles are perfectly straight.
Once on the ramp, it becomes obvi-
ous that the vehicle is crooked, so
they try to straighten out before driv-
ing the rest of the way up.
Unfortunately, the torque generat-
ed by the tracks and the sudden shift
in weight is often enough to bend
and weaken the ramp.
So make sure your vehicle is com-
pletely straight with the semitrailer
before loading. If it goes on slightly
crooked, back up and try again.
By the way,
this windshield
washer is inter-
changeable
with the one
that’s used on
the HEmtT.
