Yessir. It's ma main tool! PLG, 70mph if you're braveenough ( I'm not ). Can park it anywhere. Off the bike, bit of hose out, windies & fell in, back on bike. Bin usingbit since July. Now doing day & half in a day. Only trouble is yer slowed down by all interest, but this should pass. Did cost nearly as much as a van, but it's quicker to work with and it ain't gonna rust with this corrosive stuff we call water!
Tis fun as well. I'll post pics of the trailer I pull with it tonight. (500 liters).,

Cheers kevin j.

I wondered about that until he mentioned his trailer.  Presumably the trailer would stop or reduce overhang?

Spot On! You win the Cake. It is 10 ft long!
You'll never identify it, its a cut down carbon fibre sailing mast. Cos its tapered, I've cut it so that an Omnipole Power Pole section 2 is a tight sliding fit. So inside is a 3ft No. 2 section housing a 12 ft No. 1 section. I wanted a 10 ft section cos I dont have problems with clamps catching gutters on conservatories.

Hi Mike,

I use it for flat roofs & gates. Versatile bit of kit but heavy. 3.8m £140 Screwfix.

cheers Kevin.

Funny that this post is here as

Today was cleaning the local library and always park in front, on the grass, never had a problem before.
This time though, had to call a mate of mine to tow me off with his Landy, Sorry no photo's. How embarrasing, tried the scrim under the wheel at first then the floor mats all that happened is they picked up muck on their way to the rear of the wheel.
Should have took some piccies.

Anyway gave up after that and went sulking with the wife to the new Liverpool 1 shopping place, wish i'd gone to the trafford centre as the liverpool1 is a draughty place, brilliant car park though albeit £6 for less than 3 hours is one almighty rip off.

Hi
Interesting combination. Everyone in the area will know who you are! You cannot buy that kind of advertising.
How much does the total weight of the trailer including water compare to the total weight of the quad? As it is an unbraked trailer it mustn't weigh more than 50% of the weight of the quad to comply with towing legislation.
