Wheel Clamp Holds Mower On Trailer MOWERS “My trailer-mounted wheel clamp fits around the front wheel of any lawn or garden tractor securing it for transport It can be built to fit various sizes of tractors and front wheels ” says Steve Nichols Galesburg Ill
Nichols who operates a lawn care and mower repair business says he came up with the idea because of how often he has to load and unload tractors “It saves me a lot of time because I don’t have to fumble with tie-down straps and find places to attach them on all the different mowers that I use ”
The device is held in place by 2 brackets that bolt to the trailer floor Nichols drives the tractor onto the trailer and into the device then slips in a rear bracket made of square tubing against the tire and uses a set screw handle to tighten the bracket in place To drive the tractor off the trailer he just loosens the handle and pulls the bracket out
“Pulling one pin releases the device so I can easily remove it when I want to haul other kinds of cargo on the trailer ” says Nichols
He says he’s willing to provide plans for anyone who wants to make their own wheel clamp
