Its summer where you are..
It can be nice in April or we can have black ice..
April 7, 1987 -
the fourth consecutive day of record high temperatures was recorded at International Falls, Minnesota. The previous record for today was 60 degrees, set in 1970. Today's high temperature reached 71 degrees, breaking the old record by 11 degrees.
April 9, 1973 -
a severe late season snowstorm was in progress across Iowa, southeastern Minnesota, northern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. Wind gusts to 70 mph whipped the snow into 16 foot drifts in Iowa. 10 to 20 inches of snow was common with 20 inches falling at Grand Meadow, Minnesota and 19.4 inches piling up at Dubuque, Iowa.
I'm towing... Either extreme and I am still prepared
I found a usedutility trailer with a cycle rail and ramp kit on it already cheap in town...
I'll get it and make it a low boy... I'll toss the axle and buggy springs it comes with and put on a torsion bar axle notched into flush with and welded to the top of the frame rails... It will be wider wheel base, lower and have independant suspension then. bigger diameter tires will help too.. Slower rpms at the bearing... plus bearing buddies.... basically the same tires, wheels and bearings as ppl around here tow their boats around at 85mph... Just a softer sprung torsion bar...
