Traffic Cones

[exotion]

We just have to try and reduce liability as much as we can. One risk you never hear mentioned but be careful about is if working in neighborhood with little ones do not leave your mower unattended they may touch muffler or engine. Kids live mowers!

I'll just get 35 " stay back 50 feet stickers" and stick them every 2 feet all around my truck and.trailer make sure at least 2 is on every piece of equipment. I'll install flashing amber lights on all four corners of.my truck and four corners of trailer be sure to lay 8 traffic cones around everything be sure to have a sound saying danger danger as I drive around town that should reduce my liability.

How ever some stupid idiot will still manage to find and exploit me if they want to it doesn't matter how much you try if someone wants to find an excuse to sue you they will " only things locks do is keep an honest man honest"

Do any of you put cones behind your trailer when at a lawn? I will take a pic of mine once we have a snow that I need the trailer to haul the snowblower.

I always place cones out. I do it for my crews safety and my equipment. If you are thinking of it, do it. It's to late if something happens and the cost of two cones...minimum for a piece of mind.

Cops Ask us to put them out where i Live to keep from getting a ticket

I have observed other companies placing cones to mark their trailers. It looks professional and has to help people see the trailer especially when ramp is down. I am going to use cones starting in 2014

Even though most of my lawns are in a neighborhood, I think I will put out cones just for a bit of safety for people walking, and also to look "more professional". When you think about it, though, cars are allowed to park on the side of the road in our neighborhood 24/7, so a vehicle with a trailer isn't that much different. It's just another vehicle parked along the side. It's not like I'm on a busy road with my trailer halfway in the road.

I am lucky to have a place to park in the driveways of all my customers. I do plan to get some though just in case I should ever need them my insurance co requires me to have them if I have to park in the right of way/ road side here. But insurance aside its just common sense too you want to make your vehicle, and equipment as visible as possible.

That is why I put this bar on my trailer tailgate I guess it helps a little.
