Maybe not tied down but you can't tell for sure in the picture. The trailer doesn't appear to be sitting level but that's not a big deal as light as it's loaded.

It wasn’t tied down, I wasn’t going very far and didn’t bother to tie it down past setting the ebrake on the mower.

The truck has a pintle hitch stuffed in the receiver which I can’t get out, I shot PB blaster in it for a week, hit it with a sledge, even wrapped a chain around a tree and lightly tugged on it, didn’t budge, I can’t see that it’s welded in but idk. IMG_9429.JPG

It’s set on the highest bolt holes, I need to lower it to level the trailer.

That’s a 54in, 24hp husqvarna mower with 272h I bought for $800, used it for 2 seasons, replaced all the idler pulleys on the deck, replaced the voltage regulator and bought two $35 set of blades, I had around $1000 in it and sold it yesterday for $1100.

I don't trust my lawnmower brakes very much. I usually hook a loose chain on the front.

If the mower rolls out the back, simply tell the buyer that the deliver fee is 1,099 and that the tractor is only $1, so then they cant complain about any damage.

It’s HST also, if it started rolling it had 12ft of trailer to slowly roll-on before I could get stopped, I think my Max speed was around 45 on that trip.

When those hitches rust into the receiver it's like they welded themselves together. You could try a beefy slide hammer, but I'm thinking that if you already tried hooking it to a tree and hit it with a sledge that's probably not going to do any better. At least it could develop some shock/spike load that you maybe didn't do with the tree and in the right direction compared to the sledge. Just another idea.
