Hi there,

yeah this was posted a few weeks back...but it's worth a laugh for sure.....just funny how cocky this guy is.....he tries to load at just under the speed of light....

I still go about half a mile an hour.

I still load slow to, but thats mostly cause of the dovetail, dont want to breakover to fast and go throwing the truck around..

Now a between the axle, you can load pretty fast on those..

Incredible comedy of errors. I was disappointed that at the end he didn't flip back going up the wrong way on the trailer. Once I helped a guy out of the same situation. All I did was put a chain around the rear frame and lifted up with my Bobcat with the bucket removed. He drove the trailer forward and that was it. Maybe that's why some guys don't like trailer ramps?

ahh So you have the same problem with your Tak when loading on a wet day onto a steel trailer. Lots of slipping and sliding. I've never done it in high speed tho, don't want to get the takkie airborne when I hit the dovetail!

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the skid not being chained down when he pulled in and when he left. I post a picture of my skid on a trailer parked without being chained or Jr has straps on his and we get crucified.

You got crucified because of what you were pulling your 12,000 pound machine with..

and they gave up on me a day after they started that crap, I dont catch crap anymore about using straps, atleast not seriously..

That just goes to show my level of "sharing" that I am capable of with my Lawn Site friends. Don't ask me though "if I had it to do all over again" if I would share that story. You likely know the answer. I still cant believe I did that.
