That's one way to unload a dozer!! They are lucky on so many levels. All I could think was " put your ripper down!!!"

what a bunch of idiots, and did anyone find that funny??? And they all must have brains the size of pigeons, because they all run up right underneth the dozer as it is half tipped over. Also I bet the operater has more skidmarks in his underwear then that road does!!!

pushing dirt, baling hay, and hitting the books
guess the trailer brakes weren't strong enough to hold once the tractor lifted off the ground

been there done that

well sorta... nothing got broken though. Loading an 8K onto an undersized float on a hill. When she went onto the float (no ramps ) it picked the primemover axles off the ground and it headed downhill. Backed off in a hurry, had a talk with the driver, and the second time I went on fast. Stopped sliding in a hell of a hurry once I got some weight up forward.

Those guys should stick to pouring concrete.

XXXXXX pouring concrete unsupervised????

Just bring the hammers tomorrow.


You guys ever have a xxxxx pull a saw rope 4,000 times with the choke on until the rope breaks....then give it to you and say, "get a new one, this is a piece of ****?"
Tell me you don't seriously consider murder....go ahead tell me.

I had the same thing happen trying to load the skidsteer on a downhill slope, but instead of just pushing on through, and bringing things to a screeching halt, I put somebody in the truck to hold it with the front brakes.

Just goes to show that it doesn't take big equipment to get yourself into a potentially bad situation.

When I am loading anything heavy on the bumper pull I stick to flat ground. If there is much of slope i chock one or both of the front truck tires. A few time when i haven't had a chock i put it in park and 4x4. I was real slow loading trying to keep it smooth, i kinda like my transmission and transfer case.
