I went to put the tractor on the trailer today, it was parked on a slight decline. i got the tractor 3/4 of the way on the trailer and it unweighted the rear wheels of the truck enough that the whole thing started to slide down the hill!! The truck jackknifed and it came to a stop about 80 feet from where I started. I have never been that scared or felr soooooooooo helpless. I had some scratches on the sheet metal of the truck and it crushed the box that housed the hydraulics for the trailer, but that was it. It could have been MUCH worse. I have only put the tractor on this trailer a couple of times, and never even considered that it would displace that much weight on the truck. I was able to load up and get home. I am now drinking heavily! tomarrow will be another day!
