Thoughts on ACME Electric Tow Dolly?

Imagine flat towing w/ the steering wheel locked in center position.
That is exactly how a rigid frame dolly works, you are dragging the tires around corners.

Could you explain what you are saying? The steering wheel is not locked and the wheels turn with the dolly. Exactly how are the tires being dragged? I am not sure that you know how the ACME works.

I am not surprised that anyone would not know how the Acme works. I have watched the video several times, and I still don't know how it works. SOMETHING under the vehicle is twisting, causing the steering wheel to turn, and I do not know what it is. Keep in mind, the wheels are strapped down tightly. What is twisting under there to cause the steering wheel to turn?

If you have to ask me to explain what I am saying, then you will never understand.
Mowertek seems to be the only one that understands what is really going on here.
I had a Demco dolly w/ the steerable system, the best IMO. It could be locked in the center position for towing the dolly by itself. A couple times I forgot to unlock it,.....which would then make it exactly the same as a rigid frame dolly, such as the Acme. It worked fine, no real problem, except in a sharp turn, it would slightly drag the dolly sidewise,.......which you do not notice in the video because they don't show any sharp turns, nor do they want you to see.
it. But see it or not, the whole unit is under stress when in a turn,....severe stress in a sharp tur.
But no real problem,.....as seen in the reviews. So if it works good enuff for you, go for it. But don't ever think that a steerable wheeled dolly is not better.
