Gamma Goat Handling

[Joe Gamma]

Hi Guys,

As my Gaot is now up and running..I hear on the high way the special steering (articulated) can be dangerous at high speeds if you over correct. Does anyone notice this while driving a goat or is it just like any other trailor as far as this is concerned...

As long as your goat is in good mechanical condition and you are paying attention while you are driving, running wide open on the highway is not a problem. With the four wheel steering, it's not like pulling a trailer. It's different, just takes some getting used to.
Good luck,
Joe

Since a Goat isn't articulated in a conventional sense in the longitudinal axis, there is no issue. The last axle of the carrier only turns one half of the front axle so it has a tendency to dampen any trend to become unstable. My wife had hers beyone 60 and only had issues when she hit bumps at speed, the truck would jump sideways a few inches.

MOLESTERS are often a victim of MOLESTATION, are you saying WM may be moving on to GOATS from POSSOUM. pretty soon none of the wildlife will be safe at this rate

If everything is well adjusted highspeed driving with the goat is no problem...

He's not a young pup anymore, so unless a truckload of Viagra comes up on GL,
Yon goat would be in more danger from his campfire.
Elmo will just sit back and giggle, as a potential adversary, at the feeding tray, gets roasted.

Now, back to the original thread....

Nothing to see here....

Move along!
