Greensmower trailer

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to the present invention, a greensmower trailer is provided for transporting one or two walkbehind greensmowers.
The trailer includes a first bracket into which the front roller of a greensmower can be positioned.
To secure this greensmower in position on the front of the trailer the operator pivots a first lever forwardly to a latched position, which causes a pair of first rear arms to swing upwardly and abut a rear portion of the front greensmower.
The first rear arms prevent the front greensmower from shifting rearwardly and therefore ensure that the front roller remains within the bracket.
The bracket prevents the front roller and front portion of the greensmower from bouncing upwardly as the trailer travels over bumpy terrain.
The rear of the greensmower is relatively heavy and is therefore not required to be aggressively confined vertically.
A second or rear greensmower can also be carried by the trailer according to the preferred embodiment.
It is walked up the ramp and onto the floor of the trailer until its front roller is positioned within a second bracket that is fixed with one of the first rear arms.
The rear greensmower is secured in place as the operator swings a second lever forwardly to a latched position.
This causes a pair of second rear arms to swing upwardly into abutment with the rear of the rear greensmower.
The second bracket and rear arms confine or secure the rear greensmower against movement in a manner similar to how the front greensmower is held in place by the first bracket and first rear arms.
Movement of the second lever toward the latched position also causes the ramp to swing upwardly to its raised transport position.
The rear arms of the trailer according to the present invention confine the greensmower horizontally, but do not aggressively confine the greensmowers in the vertical direction.
This allows the rear arms to merely abut a rear portion of the greensmower in order to cause the greensmower to be secured in position on the trailer floor by way of the bracket and rear arms
