Sold one of my Deere 212's the other day, so I had to take my Jag off the trailer so I could deliver the 212. MAN there were a lot of bees living under the canvas!!! Anyway, I got to ride some grass in order to get it back on the trailer. I wanted to take a spin around the yard, but I knew everyone would think I was crazy... so I just rode it up onto the trailer. Glad you got to ride some...

Leave tham, It will make it faster. Soy oil is a great lubricant for the slides.
