My answer to another thread wherein I admitted to losing a chisel plow off a trailer once got me to wondering.
What have ya'll lost off of a trailer or truck, if anything you want to admit to.
Regarding the chisel plow, I bought a six row, three point cultivator and the 11 shank, pull type chisel plow on a consignment auction. My trailer would only hold one, so we loaded the cultivator, boomed it down, and had them set the chisel plow on top of the cultivator. The shanks on both meshed, and the chisel plow sat frame to frame on top of the cultivator. I didn't see how it could possibly go anywhere.
My brother-in-law and I lit out down the road. About fifty miles later, when I turned a corner to go to my BIL's house and let him off, that stupid chisel plow came off the trailer. It landed right side up and rolled over to the curb.
I unhooked the trailer at my BIL's house, went back and hooked onto the chisel plow with the pickup. I didn't try to reload it, I just pulled it home with the pickup and went back to my BIL' house for the trailer with the cultivator on it.
That's been 20 years ago, and we still haven't figured out how that chisel plow got off the trailer. And my BIL still refers to that corner as the "chisel plow corner".
