We did. The frame twisted bad when it was 13 months old. It had never been over loaded. They told us to pound sand. That was in 2011

A buddy of ours "fixed" it and it's been fine since then. Well until today that is.
 
Looks like they sound have ran the lower channel further back. I doubt they'll do anything but would be interesting to hear what they'd say.

Not going to waste my time with them. If they didn't care about their product when it was barely a year old they sure don't care about it 8 years later.

The problem I see with it is the rams hook to the frame where the tongue stops. You can see the driver side ram in the pic at the buckle. When it dumps all the force is applied to the section of frame where it broke.

I'm no engineer though so maybe it isn't a bad design but it seems to not be the best either.

Just had to snap this today! There's an original road in front of this house, which sit in a curve. New Subdivision being built around 3/4 of the house. Guess somebody Didn't want to sell, or is Holding out! House has maybe a 1/5 acre lot, basically what you can see, with a driveway & Trash.

PM me where that is. It's probably almost in my back yard, where there are about 500 acres (485 acres maybe?) of tract home lots getting graded down the street. Or one of the 30 other tract home subdivisions getting built in the immediate area. I think I mentally calc'd about 700-800 acres of tract homes waiting to be built on the current projects map within 2 miles of our house. That's a few thousand houses with tiny tract home lots so people can maintain their yards with battery operated lawn tools.

so far its been a big let down. If it does anything , it needs to be over 8 inches. any less the dumbasses in little cars that cant drive on dry roads still try to get out.

Update on this: I looked on Meck Polaris, and that house/land is owned by the same developer that has leveled everything around it (Bowman). So it's going to get bulldozed, and I'm assuming they're probably waiting out the expiration of an existing lease agreement with the tenants or whatever. That's an acre lot, it will turn into 3 houses according to the subdivision plan.

Not very far from me, as the crow flies. That's how I know what's going on. Roughly 350 houses going in right there.

Here for the last few weeks I've been hands-on sampling different tasks within the company. My latest endevour has been a turn table style wheelabrator machine. Fancy name for a shot-peener. Runs off of 480. We do contract work for local rail line manufacturing companies, in this case, Wabco. Most of what we clean in the machine are brake valves for trains. They come in palletized on 53' trailers from all over the US. Crusty, most are from the 70s and in the process of being rebuilt. I actually find it very relaxing. I get to work by myself operating a big, noisy machine with just complicated enough electronics to hold my attention. Each valve is around 60lbs. To clean and re-palletize a few hundred valves a week does make you feel manly.

Well over 25 years ago, my first job was at a rubber molding company that used modified wheelabrator machines to remove flash from o-rings. These were HUGE belt machines vs the turntable style machines. The blast chamber was somewhat sealed and we'd pump in liquid nitrogen to freeze the flash and then knock it off with very small shot. Larger o-rings went directly on the belt, smaller o-rings went into cylindrical "baskets" with a wire mesh or perforated steel. We'd shut those machines down twice a year for a complete rebuilt. Those machines tore themselves up! They are pretty cool to operate and even cooler to see the insides of them during a tear down. You would get filthy when operating or repairing them. You'd end up looking like you just walked out of a coal mine.
