[w5jmw at towerfarm.net]

Hello all.Here's the problem.I had a hdx-555 laying virtually in grass 
till about a month ago.Put it up ,noticed a little grass left on the 
tower.Well I cranked it up.Now when I try to lower some grass catches 
the top section.I can get it down a little less than half.I have a high 
pressure washer(3000) got it wet but still sticks.Can a hdx-555 with the 
trx-8o hd rsising mech.be lowered like this??? what if I brace the 
lifting mech by a truck..Thoughts please..73 john
