Enjoyed reading everyone's expierence, and hopefully we will all learn from mistakes of others, now for my stupidy. At my recreational property my 8N does a lot of work for me. In my field which I had just plowed, I decided to remove the big rocks , some to big to lift. I hooked up my utility trailer to my 3 point and lowered the back of the trailer to the ground to roll the rocks on the trailer. Had a fair load on so was going to dump them over a 30 foot bank, drove them to the edge backed up lifted the 3 point to lift the trailer nose and began dumping the rocks. After dumping some of the rocks did not go over the edge got off and rolled them over by hand. Next load I thought why not back over the edge to a ledge about a foot back, backed over the edge to the ledge, proceded to lift the 3 point to dump the rocks but the rocks and the load was to heavy and began lifting the front of the tractor off the ground, now here I sit with the trailer over the bank the front of the tractor a foot and half off the ground and finally the rocks started to roll off the tractor. After that I stayed away from the edge dumped the rocks and got off and rolled them over the bank by hand counting my blessings.
