Hi Daniel,

I am very envious of your equipment. [see previous post below for
reference].

Although I have a M35 and trailer, unlike you, I do not have a "maid" at
home. (aka "home maid.") Even more importantly, it appears that your
maid at home works with a ball and shackles. I have attempted whips and
chains while my wife was dressed in a "maid's" uniform, but as you have
pointed out, the height and weight difference while pushing side ways
caused more than a few problems. I will try the ball and shackles, and
let you know if this works better.
