P1000 Hillbilly Brake

[DSCKY]

I just wanted to brag on Ron Hines and the Hillbilly brake. Unfortunately, I had a Hillbilly failure. I contacted Ron and he had a new brake headed my way the next business day, with a prepaid self addressed envelope to send back the failure. Great customer service.

That one thing about Ron if there is some thing wrong
he will make it right.

Well that’s interesting

Yeah, it had been used very little. Hopefully, just a freak deal

I noticed the holes for putting a lock on 1 of my hillbilly brakes dont line up like it did when new. I never lock it and it still works so I've not really looked to see if its bent or what.

Yeah... I’m going to look at adding a couple welds to mine now. Just in case!
