Ooops! Deere busted

We just put blocks under the ramp legs and do not have any problem. Takes maybe 10 seconds to toss a 4x4 block under each ramp leg.

Seen it happen with a friend loading up his Kubota L3250 on a trailer hauled by a F150. The truck's rear tires came up off the ground, the truck started flying downhill fast. The truck hit his mother's car, which hit his son's car, which hit his wife, and the trailer jacknifed. His wife was knocked down and suffered some bruises, all the cars sustained some damage, and he got the proverbial fecal matter scared out of him.

The first time I saw him load the tractor, I told him it was an accident waiting to happen. Two weeks later, I was proved right though I took no pleasure in it. I would have preferred he listened and took precautions to prevent the accident from happening in the first place.

Looks like something that my boys would have done with my rigg!

I have seen this happen with forklifts, several times in the "spring brake" era of tractor trailers manufactured prior to 1975. One forklift went over nose first, and the forks buried in the asphalt. They extracted them, and put the forklift back to work, after cleaning the seat.
The rest were all rear end first, which was the norm, since it usually happen when backing off a trailer. The counterweight makes a nice hole in asphalt, to say the least.
