Two Men’s Attempt To Load A Trailer Goes Horribly Wrong

Lmao the driver acted like he had no idea how that could have happened.

I loaded my dump truck up on a trailer and that truck had no breaks, that was a stressful load and unload. Luckily nothing was hurt or damaged.

We had "farm use" vehicles we drove around the farm,,, dirt/gravel roads only.
NO vehicle had brakes after 6 months to a year of use,,, luckily,
the 1,600 acres had no point more than 16 feet above sea level,,, it was flat.

Back then,, the cars and trucks were gear shift,,, time it right,, turn off the key - stop.

Some how,, it always worked,,, today social services would be ALL over the farm,,,
we started this at about 10 years old,,, there was too much work to do to worry about fixing brakes,,,

It's common for tractor dealers to pick up old trade-in tractors that have no brakes. Winching on is best, but even then you need to think about grade so the tractor does not try to leave the trailer in favor of the tailgate and pickup bed. Loading uphill slightly helps.

Two other methods I have seen used are nailing blocks on the trailer where the tractor is supposed to stop or using a log chain to drag a weight or a vehicle with brakes to keep the winch in tension.

I'm thinking, drop the back gate, hit the gas in reverse and smack the breaks and it should slide off the back nicely lol.

works with hay bales.
