I have not had an accident, but have been close, too close, This is one story I would like to share that happened last year while loading our JD 730 puller on to a trailer. I had a lot of weight behind the rear axle, and it was a steep ramped trailer, the front went up no problem, as soon as the rear tires started up the ramps, the front end started comming up, and it started to shift. the rear tires slid off of the ramp about mid way up, and the front completly turned to one side, off the side of the trailer to the ground. It was enough to bounce me around and hit my head on the steering wheel. Dad was watching this as it happened, and said I was lucky, it alomst turned over on its side. Accidents are so unexpected, and happens in a split second. After cleaning up my self when that happened, I hooked on to our second trailer with a lower deck and loaded up and went pulling,, got a second that night, Chad
