Scout of the Week

This is a picture lesson of what happens when you don't know HOW to tow a vehicle properly. Rule number one: Always maintain an even tension in the tow rope. The truck in front provides the forward momentem; the vehicle behind provides the braking force! In this case, they allowed slack to form in the tow rope and the vehicle being towed rolled over it wrapping the rope around the front wheel. When the slack was taken out, the resulting off-centered jerk from the hung rope pulled both vehicles out of control... Well, you see what happened. This would be a Scout 80 on top of a Scout 800. No one was injured and both vehicles were righted with minimum fuss and body damage. Let's hear it for trail rigs.
