Pat's Easy Hitch System

[bcp]

1. Make a little spring-plunger or bungee cord system to force the arms fully apart.

2. Tie a cord/small rope between the arms near the ends, while sprung apart.

3. Tie another cord to the center of the cord in #2.

4. Run the other end of cord #3 up to the operator area.

5. Sit in the seat. Pull and release cord #3. Watch your arms swing in and out to any spread you like.

Seems like too many things to go wrong and also to get caught. I'm going to go with steel instead of elastics. Cool idea though.

I wasn't thinking it would be left on, but made to be put on quickly before hitching, then removed after, instead of up and down several times trying to get the arms to stay where you want them.

Made a simple stabilizer bar for my easy hitch. Easy to adjust and simple.
