Yeah, you cant just use a normal hose end. It needs to be the one like a gun that turns off as soon as you let go of the trigger.
I have same issue as you, although I can get down fine, just scrapes on the way out. Except I look like a twat when I leave cause the only way to turn out with least scrapage is into the deadend. So I come out of the driveway and then have to do 3point turn to turn around!!!!!
