STRUCTURE
08/17/20095694641
 The fifth wheel on the tractor is not high enough and does not clear from the fifth wheel assembly. when making turns there are bars to protect the hydraulic lift cylinder from damage caused by the trailer. the bars are too high so while making turns while hooked up to a trailer, the bars contact the trailer and get locked with the trailer preventing you from controlling the stirring of the tractor. the only way to unlock the tractor is to raise the hydraulic lift long enough to counter stir then lower the hydraulic lift. it is very dangerous when turning where there are other vehicles. i have pictures of the incident. the company rebuilt the fifth wheel on dec of 2009 but equipment is still not safe. *tr
