Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Look at the tire tracks. Could possibly have gone up that embankment.

Or high winds blew him off the upper road. (But those usually come to rest on their side).

Yup, so rare you have to cite news articles and not actual implementations.

EDN is a trade magazine promoting things companies say they are doing, but often never do because demand does not support.

Did you bother to read the Tesla citation? No portable charging mentioned. Some Tesla service centers have pickup trucks with flatbed car trailers to pick up and deliver cars. Mine now uses private flatbed towing companies. No different from any ICE dealer.

Ford doesn’t yet know what they are doing. Same as the EV market 5-10 years ago. All towing companies acted as if they were going to have to provide mobile charging services. None are today. Got wise, much faster and cheaper for the EV to tow to a fixed charger than to invest in a rarely used mobile charger and tie up driver and truck for an extended time.

These were literally the first few things to come up when I looked up EV portable charging; I'm not invested enough to give this anything other than a cursory search. I didn't have to go digging deep to find them, because they're services that do exist.

Doesn't this belong on the Coyote thread? C'mon man!

Ahem, it's KIOTI...

Oh okay. BTW did I tell you about the deer that a pack of KIOTIs killed a hundred feet off my driveway last month?

You monster!

Two places i sometimes go by have packs of fenced-in Kubotas, but they seem rather placid. Don 't know what they would do if a Deere came by.

Kubotas are pretty docile, and easy to care for; they're good with kids too!

You sure those were Kioti’s? What color were they, red or white? If they were white it’s most likely they were Bobcats! My neighbor has one and he claims all the CT parts interchange. You can only tell them apart by the color their paint.

Bobcats, admittedly, have a better sculpted hood and grille.

Thought i was going to have to find a camel last night.
Got stuck in my driveway for a couple minutes.

Should be, like the Amish carriages. Whatever roadway rules apply to them.

Around here (Central NY) they do pretty much whatever they want. Some seriously tragic accidents much too much often.

I'm going to post a few photos that I feel belong here. I may be taking a loose interpretation on this thread, but I think you'll all let it slide.

To start with, something that may not necessarily be wrong, but it sure isn't right.



Now these two, they're towing, and they're wrong.



I was sorting through old photos and came upon these, figured I'd pass them along.

Are they your old photos, or your old photos of you towing? Jon

They're photos I'd taken and uploaded to Facebook. Before deleting my Facebook account I downloaded a backup, and slowly have been organizing them on my computer.

This is me towing, and it's wrong, but mostly due to how goofy the trailer looks behind this truck.



You could argue it's wrong due to the lack of a secured load, and you'd be right- but I was going a mile down the road at a snails pace, so I wasn't too worried.

Fort Hood, early 2009 if I remember correctly.

If you look closely, can you spot anything he did right? Nope, me either...

A hosler did something similar at a local Amazon distribution center. He also took the poles out. But because he had the front of the trailer up high, due to the lift fifth wheel, he didn't hit the bottom of the trailer first. And he was going faster.

Yeah, he kept driving, if I ever did something like that I probably would to, hopefully to turn resignation papers in. maybe he had to unload at a place without a loading dock available lol.

 

[jjeff]

Quick tip always watch your trailer axle/tires when making turns/ should have stopped when the driver realized his trailer axles were in a line to hit the bollards.imo

Lot of hack job towing going on in this video. All of the sierra mountains are absolutely CRUSHED by snow right now. Not sure I've seen sno above the power lines before. Too much snow to go skiing! bummer.

They used to close these passes in the 80s and 90s and I guess they forgot about doing this since they have not had heavy snows in years.
Totally mismanaged and no learning from history. Like what happened to the Donner party.
