Here’s a tongue heavy load my truck. The roller is almost 2 tons and my grapple is on the other side. That kind of load on my ton truck would have the front wheels off the ground. I’d guess that’s at least 7500 pound hitch weight.

Dad is borrowing the Ford, Kubota and Iron Bull for a couple days to do a French drain at his buddies daughters house. It must be nice to be retired and have all the time in the world to play tractor.... I have to go to work to pay for the toys View attachment 669762View attachment 669763View attachment 669764View attachment 669765View attachment 669766

Now you stop that right now! We don't want this thread to drift. Intentionally posting a properly secured load will ruin this thread and probably get it locked!

Does your tractor have the power to put that thing on the front of the trailer into the dump bed ? That's where I would want to have it ?

If I jackknife the trailer I can set stuff in the bed from the ground but there’s no way to tie it down in the bed. And yes the M59 will lift the roller. That’s how I got I got it there.

Things getting settled down Rocky?: You said they were getting pretty rough. You don't have to say if you don't want to.

I'm going October 7 for dye contrast MRI and ultrasound to learn more. The initial esophagus exploration was a actually great, the object in my neck isn't growing into the eating/breathing path. Doctor says that now this will be cake... It's not going to likely be chewing tobacco related cancer, not likely going to be that big of a deal. So hopefully we will sort it out, whack a chunk out of the left side of my neck and be done.

I'm still talking horse from the vocal cord abrasion, doctor says it's normal and just try and shut the heck up for a week. He doesn't know me well.... I'm a constant talker! My wife claims that there is a word quota limit each day, and by dinner time I'm in clear violation.

But anyways, my worst fears seem to be skipping away... I was having nightmares of removing the esophagus and pulling the stomach up, getting a tracheotomy and speach box.... You know... What's the worst, I'll have that!

So for now, I'm feeling pretty good, doctor said if things are growing inward and blocking passages, your in a much more elevated threat by many levels. This should all work out.

Or not. But hey, it's all good. I've been having a freaking blast for 50 years and I've been very blessed/lucky.

Consider cross chaining.

I'm not sure what that is, but what happens to the load if one of the "chains" come loose?

 

[lilranch2001]

Cross chaining is just hooking the left chain to the right side of the hitch and the right chain to the left side of the hitch.

It is a DOT rule

Same thing as if one of the chains he has comes loose.

The WORLD comes to an END.

Didn't know about all that. Was thinking of some stress related stuff.
