I guess there's some sort of lip he's got to drive up and over to get it off of the boat?

Looks like the tractor's rear wheels pushed the boat out from under the tractor. It was probably in 2 wheel drive:

Yeah definitely doesn't make sense
I'm pretty sure the tractor was hung up on something, he had to gun it to get it going off of the boat in the first place
You can see the rear wheel turning in reverse
makes me think he forgot there was someone on the boat still and he tried to pull the boat back to shore, or just tried to get the tractor back up on the boat, for whatever reason and only belatedly tried to move forwards.

At least his mini vans something to talk about. Wonder in the RV world if thats considered a class b or super b? Lol

I'm curious about how it stops...

I'm sure the mini vans got upgraded aftermarket heavy duty front disc brakes. Or not

This is why you never buy a 2WD tractor. If it had been in 4WD that would not have likely happened.

It's a 4WD tractor but clearly someone forgot to engage it.

Perhaps the person running around on shore filming the video should have stayed on the boat operating the vessel idling forward during tractor offloading.

Either that or tied it off to something.

Lol. Never hesitate when unloading, gotta keep your momentum! Damn, that river/lake was deep!

Got off the highway to find this jackass in front of me on the off-ramp today.

25 boards without a single strap. Well, he had a few bits of strap dangling from his ladder rack made out of random pieces of pipe.

We turned the same way up a very bumpy piece of road, the boards were sliding around but I can't say I saw any fall. How f^&*ng hard is it to put one $2 ratchet strap on your load of lumber?

A little hard to tell from the picture, but it looked like his truck had a bedliner in it too. Depending on what kind it is, those can be pretty slippery. Learned that one the hard way when I managed to deposit 8 sheets of OSB in the middle of the street once.

The universal gravity "strap"

 

[deezler]

I'm guessing he uses those bits of twine to "tie" his ladders down when needed. Just a pathetic display of hauling competency.

I carry a heavy-duty net (made out of seat belt type webbing). With that type of load, I would have laid the net partially under the board ends and wrapped it over the top. Then secure the "4 corners" of the net back to tie downs. And I'd add a ratchet strap to hug them together prior to the net.

Similar but not as heavy duty. I have a piece of commercial fish net, the kind where they winch in a ton of fish, cut down from a torn net to fit over my 4x8 trailer. Carabiner clips secure the corners to my tiedowns. Then a couple of ropes across that. Nothing can fly out.

Can anyone suggest a source for a scrap piece of heavy commercial fishnet? I could use a slightly larger one and can't find a source.

Some trucks make it hard to tie down something low. A Toyota had rings on the bed floor in each corner, but a Ford had tie-down loops halfway up the bed side. A Ford's load would have to be about 8-12 inches high to use them.

True, but a low load can be wrapped. Just need enough strap to do so. The Home Depot Heros always piss me off leaving the parking lot with nothing holding their purchases.

And yet, MOST of them make it home just fine.
