Had to pick up my stuff today. No problem trailering the flex head I bought...go figure. I didn't make it a half mile down the road with the JD 7000. Heard a funny noise so looked in the mirror...two seconds and it crashed to the ground and tried to plant the asphalt road. Seems there are two steel brackets with holes that a pin goes thru and these are the lockouts. One of these brackets broke. The pin thru the holes bent almost in half. There was no pressure in the cylinder so DOWN she came. No damage that I can see. Got the auctioneer on the phone, he called the seller on the field, seller was great...came down with a tractor. I had chain, pins, etc on the truck so we pumped her back up and off it went. Home now....
