Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Guy next door comes to feed his cattle. Pulls a little trailer five miles or so with an old SUV. No lights, no safety chain. Put a round bale too far back on the trailer and hitch simply lifted off ball. Moved bale ahead and simply put hitch back on ball. He says the weight will keep it there.

Scary that there are people out there like that.

That's a lawsuit looking for a place to happen.

Bet a law see what he has and says why bother.

Or remember to unlock the dogs. I wouldn't want to be in that goat and count on the fithwheel to hold. But they have a release inside. I would have hit that right away before it got off the ground. Never mind it's a normal tractor. He should have unlocked the dogs.

I got this one last Saturday. I kept my old Duramax 2500HD for the heavy stuff. But its getting a little old for a daily and vacations. This one should handle my travel trailer. I will find out next month. Due to the smoke and predicted rain that will make a acidic mess it will sit in my garage for a while. I am going to get a clear bra and the ceramic coat it before I start using it. But it's a lot nicer with a lot more goodies on it. The good thing is they just got it and put it on the lot that morning. So it only had 4 miles on it when I test drove it. It hasn't been test driven or had a bunch of lookers climbing in and out of it. View attachment 669587

Yeah, but the operator should have seen the truck was still attached, thats awfully high to have been an accident!

Reminds me of how the loaders at the quarry would change their drop height on large rock depending on the drivers attitudes. Heard of some dropping so high the boulders went through the bottom of the bed.

Surely the driver was already out of the truck before that stunt ...

The video I saw showed the driver on the ground frantically trying to get the attention of the crane operator. It wouldn't surprise me, that the operator couldn't see from that vantage point, plus the number of containers moved in an hour is insane. SLOW and SAFE, doesn't work there!
