Tractor hauling accident

[downsizingnow48]

I used to have a 24 ft Haulmark enclosed trailer. No matter what the load or empty it would start to get unstable at 67 mph. That is towing with a 1 ton Ford.

The puzzled driver of the wreck is a bit short on his theoretical and practical knowledge of the laws of physics.

The wind hitting the front of an enclosed trailer, can at the right speed, cause enough force to push the back end of the trailer down.



Perhaps that's what you were experiencing?

Could be! Never thought of that. Thanks.

bcp & ray66v thanks for the comments. You're probably right, tongue is reasonably long and he probably never towed it very fast.

I've used it a couple of times also. I had my Honda 4 wheeler on there and another time I had my B7100 and had no problems.
