I saw a guy loading a Bobcat on a trailer without putting down the loading ramp jacks. The rear dually tires were at least 2 feet off the ground and the trailer tongue was 4 feet off the ground. Where's the camera when you need it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

What are loading ramp jacks? I'm embarrassed to say we've loaded skidsteers and tractors for years w/o. They do make sense though. Tate

Something to keep the trailer from becoming a giant teeter toter with the light rear end of your truck on the "up" side.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
That sure is hard on the truck and the hitch when it comes crashing back down.

Man I had that happen to me once. I bought a non running F250, the guy pushed it on with his tractor, with the bucket on the bumper. I ended up with the weight of the truck PLUS tractor on the back of the trailer. Bent the tongue of the trailer up real bad (Hillbilly made trailer that my dad had bought).

I get nervous enough loading a 4000 lb. 4runner for wheelin on the car trailer without support ramps in the back of the car trailer let alone a 7500 lb. tractor. I recently picked some up off of an equipment trailer to mount on the back of the car trailer to make loading safer. My tires have never lifted off the ground, but the suspension coming up even when going slow cant be good in the long haul.

Where is the video of someone loading the dozer on a trailor behind a f-350 . The trailor and truck went up in the air then the trailor tore off the truck. Kind of the same situation. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Not a bad weight for a 4runner. Mine is 4775 lbs. on the hoof as outfitted here for long range desert exploring:

I'm not sure "tore off" is the correct term. Looks likes it simply came uncoupled to me.
