That photo there is too good to miss! Let's see if this will post:

And in the comments:

"The first biggest problem is the trailer. Wrong trailer for the job. That trailer empty will weigh 7-8,000#. The truck will go 12-15,000# empty."

7~8k? Ok, that explains why I was having a hard time pulling a trailer like that uphill that was embedded in mud. Using a tractor weighing a third of that.

Bozo drove down where he couldn't turn around so I had to drag his trailer out separately. Here's the story.

Hmm.. I'd like to see the registration on that trailer they are saying weighs 8k#.. I bet it weighs less.

One thing that might have helped them would have been backing that monster on.. let the engine set over the rear wheels at least... oback it up enough that some weight was past the rear.

better yet, let it pull the trailer and pull the small truck up on there. :)

I don't have a picture... but I will describe what I saw at noon today.

A early 2000 Suzuki Vitara towing a two axle landscape trailer filled with dirt with plywood tossed in to hold more.

All 4 tires were nearly flat from the weight and the poor Vitara was just bouncing going down the city highway at 25 or so... if the driver would have jammed the brakes the rig would have kept going...

I really think someone filled it by volume without regard to weight so much from front to back the trailer was bowed.
