A tactor was for sale next to callawy gardens at a very fair price. The very nice man that owned the tractor had several heart attacks and did not need to be using the tractor. He picked a good place to load the tractor with a terrace and a slight down hill slope. He was going to back the tractor on, drop the box blade and go back for the bush hog. The back tire hit the trailor. The f150 rear tires came off the ground. The box blade rakes hooked the trailer. And the whole rig including Ron the nice man that had 3 heart attacks took off down the hill. Wow! The trailor jacked knifed under the truck untill it hit the rear tire. Ron said not to worry he was allright. He had a pace maker and a defibulator.

I have put wooden blocks under rear of the trailer so it can't go down, I was loading a AMX for a friend of mine on level blacktop and it pushed my silverado straight ahead ( no blocks underneath ).

Wow, I had never thought of the potentials of that happening. I currently load mine on a hill where I back the trailer to a bulkhead and drive it on. The truck always rises in the rear. I need to review how I load.
Thanks for the post, It's a good learning/safety leason.

A friend of my daughters worked for a rental place. He was delivering a bobcat up a steep gravel drive. When the tow vehicle would not make it, he decided to unload it on the hill. The truck and trailer began sliding down the hill, he bailed off the bobcat and did not get hurt. the rig slid down the hill and acrsss the road and stopped. Lucky I guess.

Yes he was very lucky. The man loading the tractor was lucky also. The F150 bumper was not so lucky. It is twisted like a prentzel. Going to go with wheel something in front of the wheels next time.

Wow, someone posted a few months ago having a similar personal experience. Very scary.

When I load/unload mine I just block up under the tail of the trailer, especially important for the 16' & 18' trailers. I've noticed alot of guys around here have block frames welded into their flip-down ramps.

Talk about a bad day!!! I am amazed at how often that happens. It wouldn't be a bad idea to block the front tires of the truck, and keep a driver in the truck with a foot on the brakes.
