Not all ZTR are created equal. We have Grasshopper with front mounted deck. It pulls trailer just fine forward or push it in reverse. It likes to be tongue heavy though. Otherwise it has tendency to lift the rear of the mower.

When I was a kid, I used to love to hook a trailer up to the garden tractor and pull it around for fun after cutting grass. Maybe some folks just haven't grown out of that stage yet? :)

lol. Me too. I loved pulling a trailer around with the garden tractor when I was a kid. I still love to do that. Even if I have nothing to haul. I love to pull a trailer with my truck too even if it too is empty. lol

My dad says. Aren't you gonna unhook that empty trailer from your truck? I tell him yeah I will soon, I just don't feel like unhooking it right now. :)

The truth is I just love to pull it around.

From the local paper.

So far this month, two have gotten stuck there, requiring county crews and tow trucks to extricate them.
On Dec. 6, the back wheel of a truck heading north went off the side of the road at the curve, and on Dec. 13, another truck got struck because it could not make sharp 90-degree turn.
Truck drivers who get trapped on the bridge are ticketed and fined.
Neighbors who live near the bridge are familiar with the scenario.
There are a couple every month. It's been going on for years..."

Gotta say I agree but extend that to the agency who maintains that bridge. If its that frequent and they know truck traffic is heavy there then they should fix the problem. Wonder if they are looking at the problematic bridge as a cash cow for fines and wrecker fees.

Looks like it could be expanded on that outward side to allow a wider turn for vehicles to pass in that turn and give trucks room to make it. Also even some simple signs may make a big difference.

But that might cut into the tickets and towing revenue. I wonder how the wrecker service owner is related to the county officials?

either in the article or the comments it says there are signs posted that say no trucks (don't know if that is true, but the comments seem to be from locals).
