Todd's right - that seems like one of the top "pros" of the sleeve hitch setup vs. a tow behind setup. Those springs really do a number on concrete, so one can only imagine what'd it do to asphalt, so being able to pick it off the ground easily was a big plus. Finsruskw mentioned before that you could back into corners and get better coverage.

Go for it Roland. You won't be disappointed.
