I was at a auction on Friday and I bought 5 talbes
48 x 96 by 3/4 in plate steel ....
We loaded them on trailer with a small lift truck, stacking the tables 3 high up side down and sandwiched in ..
drove the load home going 40 miles per hour .. trip was 80 miles...
Got home and the only thing I had to un load trail with was my GC 2310 with a set of frokes on the front of the bucket..

I could just reach and slide the top table ..
What I was planning on doing was to drag table and drop it as fast as I could when it came off of the trailer (HMMM)
and I did but it did not work the way it should have as the table feel faster then I could drop the front end loader.
This caused the tracktor to rasie up in the rear as it was WAY over balanced... I was bounced up and over the the steering wheel and I JUST caught the wheel enogh to keep from being thown forward and OFF the tractor...
This should have been on vidio's on the TV DARN did I feel stuipid /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Question how much does a steel plate weigh 48x96x 3/4 ??
