Not sure if this has been posted here before but I still hope my straps hold as well as this guys.

That's Impressive!
Even looks like the ROPS worked too!
But the dang hood latch failed!

He definitely stuck the landing

Wonder where the wheels went (on the trailer)?

I seen that pic from a guy at work on Facebook a little while back, sure looks like Louisiana. Wouldn’t surprise me. On my way to work this morning I followed a Tacoma pulling a rental trailer and mini x, that x was driving the truck. I couldn’t stay behind it.

It is chained down so maybe it isn’t Louisiana. Blows my mind how people trailer things around here. I can’t believe the number of $10k plus zero turns I see bouncing around a trailer not tied down.

We have people around here with mini-ex and skid-steers not secured. I try to stay away from them.

Tennessee. I think it was I-24 between Chattanooga and Nashville. Somewhere, there is a narrative and more pictures. Facebook, I think.

What ever happened to the member from Tenn. (I think) who was moving his tractor on an apparent one lane road with the loader up in the air? He kept saying it's perfectly legal, but I bet if this happened to him he'd find a different answer!

I bet it took a week to clean the truck cab out

Simple answer... Like most on here, they come, air their 'issues' and questions, get an answer and then vanish, never to be seen (or heard from again).

And some just stay...

Here in Ontario BOTH loader bucket AND BH bucket MUST be secured..course we also allow dump trucks and trucks with dump trailers to do 70MPH with there boxes UP ! Just Google 'Burlington Bay Skyway accident'... guy did MILLIONS in damage, let alone shut down the QEW(major(only) way to get from Niagara Falls to Toronto) for days....
oh yeah, the guy gets OFF the DUI charge... only lost his license for awhile...
probably driving as I type though...
scary

Well I'll most likely be here long after you're gone and forgotten!

Maybe I flipped but I probably would side with you as this car rolls along.

So this is an idle question, but how is a big implement that is NOT attached to the tractor or dozer supposed to be tied down? Besides common sense that is. Reason I ask is I was following a trailer down the road and the biggest bucket I've ever seen was tied down with one skimpy looking chain running diagonally across it. The dozer it belonged to was in front. Did not look secure to me.

Most likely unless something befalls you that removes you from the gene pool. After all, you aren't immortal even if you 'think' you are. Only immortal one I can think of is God. So certainly most likely but in reality no. All depends on the luck of the draw.

Safety chains?
A 1 7/8" ball with a 2 5/16" coupler?
Wheels? We don't need no stinking' wheels.
