Mine ain't low no-mo...........it's way up there. But great idea. If you don't fly thru the mud and cover the rad with splash, you have no worries. It's called less on the go-pedal......

What is everyone using to attach it to the garden hose? I have some 3/8 inch copper I was think of just cutting an old hose slide in the copper and put a couple clamps on it but I would rather not cut my hose if I didn't have to.
