Lets here some funny and not so funny stories, interesting, and even scarry stories. Maybe we all can learn from other mistakes.
This is my most intersesting load. Its the river tractor that we picked up off a Island in the Ohio River. We took a ferry boat over and back. Saw all kinds of wild life while we were on the Island.

Went to an auction in Cecil Co, Md a few years ago, was walking around as a F800 ford farm truck loaded with a farmall MD diesel tricycle facing backwards drove by. I noticed that the floor of the truck had holes in it big enough to drop a market hog through. I think it had maybe 3 good boards left on it. Tractor had no chain or strap on it, and as the truck hit some old furrows in the field-you know up and down like a ship at sea, with each forward lurch of the truck the tractor lurched equally in the opposite direction, in keeping with the laws of physics, you see. Before I could run to get his attention, he made a hard left as the front end of the tractor pitched out the back end of the bed, bounced mightily for a couple of seconds, then the driver got the truck stopped. They had to get a rollback to pick the front end of the tractor out of the hole it had made in the soft dirt, and unload it the rest of the way. The guy driving was a local tractor jockey dealer referred to by some in the area as Eddie Eaglebeak. Whenever I see Eddie Eaglebeak at an auction, I always point out the rows of stuff that have chains and binders in them, and ask him whether he's dropped anything off at this sale?

We were borrowing my mom's cousin's JD self-propelled swather a couple years back. He has a tilt-back trailer he keeps it on that he either pulls with another tracotr and hooks up the hydraulic hoses or hooks up to his old dump truck. The tires barely fit on the thing...

I had the rig hooked onto our Oliver 1855 in his driveway, and decided to start it up and just make sure it ran, since it hadn't been run in a year because it's only used for swathing grain ahead of the combine. Well, whe i started it up, I got it in nuetral and took off the little bit of brakes it had, and it rolled right off the back of the trailer... without it being tilted back.... It was about a good 4' drop, and all I could do was hang on for dear life.

I sheepishly got off and looked it over, no damage to the header or anything, then tilted the bed down. Apparantly I forgot exactly how to drive it since the last time we used either his or the neighbor's (exact same machine) so I went in the barn and got him to drive it back on and give me a quick demo on it again.

Managed to get the oats cut down after having to borrow a clutch assembly from the neighbor's parts machine, and then having to fix the drive chain on the same side that runs down the tube to the drive axel. NOT FUN!!!

A friend of mine bought a new camp trailer. It was maybe 18 feet long, the kind you would take to deer camp and two of you live in it for a week. This was his first experience with a trailer and he and his wife were real proud of it.

They lived in a subdivision called Highland Estates, like real hilly country! He had parked the trailer at the side of the road just off his property. There was a slight slope in the road at this location. The front of the trailer was up hill, but the weight of the trailer was on the tongue so no problem.

The problem came when his wife wanted to show it off to her friends. All three of them (large women) went into the trailer and went to the back and sat down at the kitchen table. That shifted the weight off the tongue, to the rear of the trailer. The front of the trailer came off its blocks and away the trailer went, tongue in the air, down the slope, across a berm at the end of the road and into a brush field. The ladies were thrashing around in the back of the trailer, and squealing throughout the wild ride to the bottom of the hill.

Thank goodness no injuries but lots of skin damage to the “new” trailer. We laugh about that incident at least once a year.

Loading a track loader on a tandem dually trailer in the winter. Scary! Most embarrassing however. I had to carry my Ford ranger on my bobcat trailer behind my Hino gravel truck because I was getting some work done on the Hino at a friends and needed to leave it for a while. I've hauled the ranger several times without any problems what-so-ever. Well for some strange reason the rear suspension bounced down enough to cause the boomer to flip loose allowing the chain just enough slack to allow the ranger to come forward over the front of the trailer and into the back of the tailgate on the Hino. Good thing the ranger had 4 wheel drive or I wouldn't have been able to back it up onto the trailer. When I got to my friends to drop the Hino off he asked what happened to my grill,fenders and headlights. I said take a close look before I unload it. I rear ended ... myself! After laughing profusely, he said it's a good thing the truck was old and didn't owe you anything. I still have the truck complete with nice square, flat front fenders that amazingly match exactly to the back of a gravel box! Dave

Had a cousin killed loading a loader on his trailer. Hard to tell amount of times he loaded and unloaded over the years, but it only takes one time to end it all. Also saw a guy come off his trailer with tricycle front and no center ramp. He loaded and unloade like that all the time, not one time did he have any problems. Opps, I forgot, there was the one time ! As he was backing down the ramps and steering the front to the left, nice and easy, the right brake for some goofy reason locked. In a split second the tractor was sideways going off the ramps and rolled over. He was able to get clear and except for his pride and a few bumps he was ok,tractor wasn't so lucky. It can happen to any of us at any time, so why take extra chances ? It only takes a couple extra minutes to add years to our life and a split second to take away the rest of our years.

Back about '73 or '74 when I was still 10 feet tall and bulletproof a buddy and I decided to make some money hauling Christmas Trees down from Canada to Mass. We had a '63 GMC 65 series with a big V-6 in it. That old farm truck was pretty well wore out and had some oil pressure issues. The local crusty old mechanic fixed her up for us by shimming up the main bearings,we threw some quarts of oil in the cab and off we went. Black Lake,Quebec is about 11 hours driving but we made it no trouble. The return trip was a different story. We had just left the tree farm fully loaded (way overloaded) and I was having trouble making it up the hills so, when I saw a really big one ahead,I got a good run downhill to get up some steam. Plan A was working real good until halfway up the other side when the motor sounded like sombody dumped rocks into the oil pan. Called the tree farm, crazy nephew came out and towed us back with a 4wd pickup,got my first gray hairs at 20. Rented a car and went home. Got a phone call that the truck and trees were on their way home. Sure enough those farmers had drug the truck up a hillside and pushed it onto a flatbed semi then took off the top layers of trees and packed them around the truck. I don't think that Customs had any idea what to do with that mess at the border so they kinda just closed their eyes and said to get going. Luckily I knew a guy doing some site work close by so he piled up a ramp with his D7 and pulled the truck off for us. I haven't had fun like that in a long time ;>) Jf

Alright, this ain't near as funny a some of the others, especially the TA story, but we simply could not winch the tractor onto the trailer. The clutch was froze, as was everything else. It was about 8 degrees when we were loading the tractor. Finally it came loose. The tires had frozen to the ground. When they turned, huge circles of dirt came up with 'em. The frozen soil was hard enough that it damaged the fenders before it broke free. It was the damnedest thing I had ever seen. It left holes where it had been. I was afraid I would get charged for the real estate.

Sorry, it's all I got.

When the neighbors moved to Arizona, he loaded a really nice dolled up CJ-7 into a 26ft U-haul van then packed his stuff around the Jeep.

He gets ready to unload the Jeep and strings out a couple 2x12's on the door jam of the U-haul and starts to back out. That's what about 3ft to the floor? I'm screaming hold-it as you didn't brace the 2x12's and when you hit the gas the tires will shoot the 2x12's out from under the tire. na, he says that's the way we loaded it at home to get it in there.

Well dang there's a burm over there and you could just back the van truck over there and not even have to use ramps. Na, that's ok , this will work!

I made damn sure I was clear when that CJ7 rolled down the ramps just like what he said it would. From then on I really watched out when ever I helped him do anything as I figured he used all 9 lives up on the CJ7 and he was on borrowed time.

I worked for a fellow back in the 1970s who was
the nicest fellow you could ever hope to meet. One night after work another "redneck" came and wanted to borrow his 1010 JD Bulldozer. Boss asked how he was going to get it home and he said he would just back it on to his truck. The truck was
a pickup with a homemade flat rack. Boss tried to
convince him it wasn't a good idea but "redneck"
new better. This heavy duty truck would handle it.
So the boss let him back it on the pickup. You wouldn't belive how heavy that small dozer is. But redneck had no trouble beliveing it after he drove
it back off his pickup.

I was loading a stagecoach a number of years ago. I used to drive it for a museum. I had a hand crank winch on the front of a 16ft trailer. I kind of forgot to latch hitch the ball down. Well as the coach came up the front of the trailer lifted off the ball and away I went. I was rolling down a slight incline praying that I could get to the coaches handbrake and that it would be enough to stop it. I had to climb up the front of the coach to the drivers seat and stomp on the brake as hard as I could it slowed the thing down enough that when I hit the cedar trees I only broke a few of the branches and nothing else. Needless to say I always double check that latch nowadays. Never did tell the boss about that one or several of the other near accidents that happened there.

Got a couple....First , loading a crawler dozer up the side of the carry-all trailer..Kicked the blocks out and stood the 450-C straight up..Soiled my shorts...Next , My landlord at my repair shop blew a piston on his D-6..I loaded it onto the side of his carry-all with a 450-C dozer. For some reason he wanted to ride the Cat , I guess to steer it..When the dozer slammed the deck , He soiled his shorts.. Third but not last , When I left Mahnen Machinery , on the last day , I was out testing a repaired machine , heard a whistle , looked up and say my entire shop standing outside the rear door of the shop , turned around , shooting me the "Moon".. I swear there wasn't a clean pair of shorts in the bunch...Finally , Nothing to do with loading , but humorous anyway..I had just rebuilt a winch on a 450-B dozer..The cable didn't want to free-spool so I hooked it to a dead machine, stood on it..Had the new mechanic check to see if the control lever was indeed in free-spool..He grabbed the lever and shot me over a Ferguson tractor standing next to the dozer..He thought I was gonna kill him..I got up , dusted myself off and started to laugh..It was beer thirty after that.....

A few years back, I bought a Massey Harris 44 and an Allis All-Crop combine together just to get the combine. First reasonable offer owned the 44. The buyer came after it with what appeared to be a new trailer. He got cold feet and wouldn"t load the narrow front tractor on his trailer that had only 2 ramps. So I decided to be the show off and drive it up on the trailer for him. I managed to get the front end up on the trailer deck, then started up the ramps with the back wheels. The front of the trailer shot up in the air, saftey chains being all that stopped it from ending up in the bed of the truck. I shut down the tractor and bailed off. First words out of his mouth? "I guess it does make a difference"! "What does"? I said. "Oh that trailer uses a 2" ball and all I had was an 1-7/8" ball".

He finished loading it himself while I went looking for another pair of shorts.

My father many years ago was loading our JD 510B backhoe onto our 18 ton trailer when the pindle hitch opened up and the front of the trailer went up in the air while he was on the ramps. Luckly he was able to back down. I saw a guy load a Cat 215 excavator onto a 20 ton tag along trailer hooked to a tandem R Model Mack. Didn't have the brakes hooked up on the trailer and went 65+ down the highway, left us in dust!

Tag trailers, I've loaded a good many rubber tire backhoes on them, for some reason these type of trailers did not go well with these machines I thought, backhoes are just too heavy on the back end, and with the incline of the ramp etc. Case 580, used to let the hoe drag a little until I got up on there, very carefully tucked it back in. 416 Cat seemed to load better. 655A Ford, used to climb it ok, but one day I ended up sideways on the ramps, did get it down and re-loaded. Weight in the bucket would have been helpful. We never backed them on, don't recall why, just that you had to use care when loading onto these kinds of trailers.

I usually have an interesting story for most every occasion, but am sadly lacking in this topic, even though I've hauled hundreds of times. I believe the problem is that when I bought my car trailer about 15 years ago, I sprang for the deluxe tilt-bed model. There's just not much chance for adventure- take the pins out that hold the front down, bump the rear of trailer with front tractor wheels and it comes down, drive on, trailer bed over-centers when you get forward far enough, then watch the hitch, and when it goes down about an inch, you've got just the right tongue weight. Life is good, albeit boring sometimes.

i was loading a half dead m farmall on a trailer for my cousin and we were using a borrowed deck over implement trailer we all heck broke loose, the fronts and rear were not very good so i was easing up when halfway up the ramp the right side rear tire decided it was a good time to come off the rim, had the winch hooked up, and it helped keep the tractor from rolling over, but that was a heck of a ride, i saw my life flash before my eyes, and upon further inspection, i realized my cousin, who is a "PROFESSIONAL" truck driver didn't have the ramps spread far enough apart, its my fault too, i didn't look at the ramps, i do now, and i don't trust anyone with them

One time Dad and I were unloading a 9n Ford off a trailer. We were backed up to a loading dock. The Ford had a brack draging so we decided to pull the tractor off backwards. Dad used a 720 Deere with loader and boom pole. We hooked the chain to the boom pole and then to the drawbar. Started pulling the Ford off the trailer and the Ford started rolling at a fast pace and I couldnt gety the brakes to wok. The boom pole ended up just missing my lewft shoulder. Man I wouldnt want to be pinned between the pole and sterring wheel.

Was loading a truck on a trailer hooked up to my truck. My truck and trailer were pointed down a pretty good hill, went up on trailer and the wieght on the back end picked up the front of trailer and the rear of my truck. The whole mess and me with it took off sliding down the hill. Came to rest in some bushes and thank goodness, no major damage. It was a wild ride. I always put a piece of cross tie under the back of the trailer now.

My shining moment of loading/unloading was when I was about 18.. unhooked the trailer from my truck with the 8N and angle blade on it,pulled the truck forward a few feet and left it there..came back later and decided I really needed the tractor off of trailer,so thru down the ramps and started unloading it. without hooking it back to truck..when I was heading down the ramps,front of trailer picked up about 3 feet,and shot like a rocket into the tailgate of my truck..creased the tailgate,but other than that no harm done..

Got a load in from CA one day during harvest on a single drop. Had a "Navy G" on the top deck. Well...not wanting to fool around with the ramps, I told the driver to back along side my dock and we'd just pull 'er over the side. Half way off the truck, I realized I had no brakes...then I soon realized steering was partially froze. I started to bail off and caught my bibs on the cultivator brackets, finally broke free when the front end went over. Broke me loose and pitched me half way down the dock ramp. Tractor ended up on it's top along side the dock. I dislocated my left shoulder, but got up and told the wide eyed spectators we had combining to do and went at it. Had my shoulder popped back in that afternoon. Have been a ton more relaxed on loading and unloading since!

Saw a fella at an auction a couple of years ago that won a Ford 7600. At the end of the auction he proceeded to pull it up on a car trailer (about 1/2 of the wheels were catching on each side after he pushed them all the way in) & strap her down for the 4 hr. ride home behind a Ford F150. He pulled out & you could smell that tranny cooking.

Everyone was shaking there heads & a freind of mine had offered to haul it for him. Don't know if he made it home or not.

Too many people in a hurry or have no idea about kenetic energy, potential energy, friction co-efficient or center of gravity. Most of these people have enough money for fuel to run around to shows hauling a trailer. And have enough $$$ to drink a case of beer at each show. However they can not find the $$$ for a winch on the front of the trailer.

Was pulling a dead 660 diesel up on our gooseneck flatbed trailer. It has "kick stands" on the back so the front of the trailer doesn't come up when something heavy hits the ramps... forgot to put those down. Had about 3 feet of air under the rear wheels of the pickup before the tractor came on the trailer far enough to bring it back down.

Since then I always take along blocks of wood and make sure the kick stands are down. Also make sure someone is in the pickup holding the brakes and the trailer brakes.

Unloading a tricycle tractor is fun as well. Used a bridge plank for a center ramp and it fell down while I was backing my F12 off the trailer. Front end of the tractor had to fall about 3 feet and I bent the hand crank. Luckily was backing off and not driving off... I'm having a good, solid, attachable 3rd ramp made for the trailer this summer.

Steve -
I am considering the same but just learned this trick last wx.

Consider approaching ramps from an angle and swing that NFE from far ramp to middle of trailer when tires on the trailer. Then drive the rig straight on.

Do the reverse when backing off. Has worked good so far for my WD - both loading and unloading.

I am unable to do all the steering/braking/clutching necessary at once when loading or unloading the F12 or F14 with hand brakes.

I'll have a 3rd ramp and drive straight on... actually I prefer to back onto the trailer and drive off. No one ever flipped over backing onto a trailer... at least not that I know of.

I was looking for a extra ramp 20 years ago and a friend told me about this, I was skeptical but could see no reason it wouldn't work. When I got home I hooked up the trailer and gave it a try. I have been doing it this way ever since.
