Operator needs to hit the "go fast" button on that truck! But he may want to be a bit away from the angry cat. Jon

On my Kubota B26TLB, I have a removable bucket on the backhoe. It is mainly uses a pin to lock the bucket into place with a pin keeper. I would like to think a longer pin and some additional brackets could mount a trailer ball or hitch pin. Or are you loading the trailer with the loader...

That bracket looks like the ones on my Kubotas. Both are mounted to the ROPS. Jon

My SMV's are easily removable. The one the B26TLB has been removed permanently. It was in the way of getting on and off of the backhoe position. Both tractors are loaded backwards on the trailers and the truck has a cap on it, so the SMV sign is hard to see. Jon

So should SMV placards be removed from tractors on trailers? I usually leave mine on but back the tractor onto the trailer. Just wondering. Jon

But what about the car following the roller? Would they have hit that head on? Jon

Truck picking a load of sharp edged steel, used disposable diapers to protect his straps. Jon

I know someone who uses squeeze clamps to tame the loose ends of ratchet straps. Jon

He should have driven over the mid section. Around here they soon learned they needed to remove the inside hard curbs when the circle was too small in diamter. Jon

Looks like a pretty well balanced load on the truck and doesn't need straps to secure the load. Jon

Think that is an empty trailer? Nothing connected to the winch line. Jon

That's an expensive recovery bill! Jon

What year Tundra and what package level do you have? I have had a 2007 and a 2018 SR5 and do not remember seeing that dial. I know there is a dial for dash lamp intensity. Picture would be helpful of dial. Thanks. Jon

No safety chains! Jon

Set of heavy car rolling dollies used under the trailer's landing gear/legs. Cable or chain around fifth wheel pin to fork lift pulling in the building, or something pushing it against the trailer rear bumper. Front nose of trailer cut out to load trailer. I think this is a permanent long...

Does flat towing (like behind big RVs) require active brakes in the towed vehicle. I see eTrailer advertizes them. Just wondering? Jon Looks like WG also matched my comment. Jon

Didn't see that. Jon

To me, that looks like the driver does not know how to park. Jon

Very similar to the tubes of sand we can buy for weight during the winter time. About 60 to 65 pounds per tube. Tube is a plastic type bag. Jon

How do you keep the sand in the truck tube? Jon

That's why I have a 8ft bed in my Tundra. I haul too much 8ft lumber. Jon

So are these hauling wrong? First 2 pictures some 12 ft treated posts, rest is 10ft 2x treated. 3rd picture is second load. Included is a strap up front in the box. Tundra handled both loads well. Stuff for a tree house for the grand kids. Jon

The car followed too close and disturbed the air flow. Jon

So what do you call a converter gear (last picture) that has no trailer on it, but is hooked up to the bac of a trailer or a tractor. Jon

Those 16 footers are going to self unload on his way home. Based on the angle and the loose straps. Jon

Could very well be a show, but....To me, still a stupid thing to do. Jon

On that guy filling the bed of the pickup with gas: Why didn't someone just hit the button to shut off the gas pumps? Yeah some others filling their cars would be inconveneinced, but so what! And why follow that truck so closely? With the gas spilling out, stay back enough to talk to 911 or...

I have been to BNM's shop among a farming community. Small shop, started by dad years ago and the boys grew up in the business and have since taken over. Not sure they would have any connections to other manufacturers. Been happy with the two I had/have. The 16ft looking like yours they...

Looks similar to my BNM Trailer Sales from Michigan. Any chance the same manufacturer? Jon

Probably not at box stores, though. Understand it is truck owners problem. Jon

Problem with those pallets, is how to unload them. I have never seen forks that rotate to the angle to be able to lift the pallet. I think someone has to unload them by hand. Jon

rock, that's what caught my eye. Looking like they were pulling on a rope. Thanks, Jon

bcp and others, find any videos of them removing the truck and trailer from the bridge? I've seen one removing the driver, but did they rig a hand rope to lower rescuer and then raise them both by hand power? Jon

Did a couple of loads that the 12ft logs were longer then the trailer deck. If I got going to fast, over 35mph, tail wantd to wag the dog. Not fun. Kept the speed down. Jon

Rock, how far did you travel with that load? Jon

What about the sensors in the bumper? Replace one of those with a camera. Jon

Cedar can be used for outdoor furniture, deer blinds, panelling, etc. I used some for wainscot in the living room. Nice grain coloring. Jon

They may have to haul wrong with their Tesla pulling the generator. Jon

Where is his oversize permits signs? Jon

That's why my ramps have legs to support the back of the trailer and not raise the back of the truck. Jon

Look at the Badlands winch from HF (I think). Its got some bigger wheels. (Seen it on YT offroad recovery sites) Jon

He just needs another floor jack under the van to help balance the load. Jon

But bike still blocks forward vision of driver. Can't see to the right at intersectons. Jon

How can driver see past that? Jon

But that is the way I see them hauled. On their sides. Jon

Looks like a paper plate in the back window. Jon

Is that HD taking his new toy build to get weighed? Trailer tires look like they are starting up a bump. Jon

Front one looks like it might be loose. Jon

I think dad's fifth wheel had a full width mud flap because he pulled his boat behind it. But that unit looks closer to the ground. Jon

Is that a fifth wheel pulling the second trailer or a motor home? Jon

Dftodd said: That was actually my trailer yesterday picking up the culvert for my property two bit said: I actually thought it was a good idea when I saw the picture. I’ll probably use it sometime myself I made a frame work to rest on my equipment trailer sides to support a load of 16ft...

Need a couple of tail gate riders to set the truck back down on its wheels. Jon

Not necessarily. Jon

How did they load and tie that load? Jon

Thanks, Jon

Is that video current as in a day or two ago? Jon

Are they your old photos, or your old photos of you towing? Jon

So any updates from following him? Jon

Add in there Fab Rats, Robby Layton Nation, Chad's Fab, and BSF recovery Team, all friends of above. Fab Rats is Merlin's cousin. Robby paints some of there vehicles. Chad does the electrical for them. Jon

There is some small pieces in there. I am amazed every time I see that picture and wonder how long it took to cut, split and stack that load. Probably photoshopped. Jon

When are dealers/mfg going to stop selling camper setups like this? So much overhang which also includes a slide out and its extra frame weight. Jon

Could have the crane hauler let the truck and trailer free wheel down the hill and avoid the truck waiting to come up? Either way would have been a white knuckle drive. Jon

If the back of the trailer was not planted to the pavement, could it drive and would turning the front wheels actually allow the vehicle to go around the corner? Jon

Wide tires make good floats. Jon

Maybe if they were able to hold it straight and not slide backwards while burning rubber to melt the ice. Jon

I know around here in northern Michigan, which has a lot of log trucks, the LEs will look for that hump where the chains or straps touching the top row of logs. Jon

If you look at log trucks, they have to hump the logs to match deezler's picture. If not, they can be stopped for a misload.. Jon

That pipe is a good spear into someone's back window? Jon

And only the bottom truck is strapped down to the semi trailer. Jon

I assume the black wrecker is trying to repo the white truck and its driver put it in 4wd and tried to take off. Jon

The front piece looks like the shroud that are on some small trailers for snowmobiles to keep the slop off of them. The first right one, I thought was the side rail of the trailer frame, broken away from the plywwod deck. Jon

Probably not activated. Jon

Heck of a way to change your engine oil. Jon

If they make it that far. Jon

The first one, with a donut for a left front tire, is pulling the other two vehicles. The first towed is on a tow dolly with a bad left front tire. The second towed looks like it is missing a front left fender. Jon

/pine just hauling another load home. Jon

Dead or alive? Jon

If those are people's feet, they must be contorshinist(sp?). (Face one direction and have their feet the opposite way. Jon

Don't think he would fit under a 13' 10" bridge either. Jon

Was heading south bound at this time and our left lane was closed because of a big chunk of barrier concrete in the left lane. No traffic heading north, ambulance just heading north bound when we approached accident from north. Did not know what caused chunk of concrete to blow apart. Coming...

Doesn't look like the bottom log is chained down? I think I see a chain on the top log. Wondering if the rings and chains are for tie downs?? Jon

Any info on the picture location or date? Thanks for the picture. Jon

Did not realize that was a link. Thanks. Jon

CA is this you towing that bouncing car? Jon

Maybe that ball is how he transports his motorcycle! Jon

Looks ok to me, chains are there, they moved the license plate light when they moved the plate. Weld might hold that little trailer shown somewhere behind that F150. LOL, Jon

Thiefs, I'd say. Jon

I wonder if the semi was empty, ie no load to help weigh it down. Jon

I think from that front boat picture, it is at least three axles. And from a prospective point of view, those are wide flange beams used for the tongue. And guessing maybe 10 inch in height. Again basing on the distance from the tires and the height of the tires. Not sure if boat and trailer...

Didn't get the hood strapped, though. LOL! Jon

I think he has it strapped down properly. Not sure if straps meet the load requirements, but they are there. Even the back of the boat is strapped to the hitch ball. Why do it, less tire wear. Maybe this was behind a big motorhome that had mechanical problems and was being towed and the...

Maybe table tennis anyone? Jon

Like they say "drive it like you stole it!" Mabe they did, or they are getting back at an ex or something. Jon

But what is thhe HP required to pull that trailer and blade? 2 power units, where in the US, one semi pulls it? Jon

Kind of a waste of a nice 59 Belair. IMO. Jon

Guess someone was not paying attention when the hopper gate needed to be closed, or maybe a malfunction of the hopper gate. LOL Jon

I think the back bumper of the pickup with the dozer in it, is actually sitting on the enbankment. Jon

Looks like they are iding level, but trailer has no fender on the left side. Jon

If he dumped the load I bet the axle would have straightened itself back to normal. That is the new overload detection system. Saves the LEO's a lot of time that they can be in the donut shop! LOL. Jon

That will be an expensive repair bill. Glad I am not paying the bill. Jon

Notice the two straps coming to the front from the back, they stop half way down the stack? They are not connected to the car. Jon

Looks like a tow bar being used. Jon

No he is towing his backhoe with the dump truck! LOL, Jon

So let's build a story on this photo. Tailgate breaks apart. Driver doesn't realize. Pulls away from the stp sign racing the hot rod next to him. Loses his load in the intersection. Because of the cost of OSB today, everyone sees this as a chance to stop and get some free OSB. Just saying...

Question, how did you get out of the truck? Trackhoe? Jon

So where is your backhoe to unload while your crane is holding the front of the truck in the air to allow it down gracefully. Jon

Is that yours? Jon

Would have to move the garage doors to the gable wall though. Jon

Why does the Humvee have a Michigan manufacturer plate on it? Looks like it is just tie strapped on. Also does the trailer have a steering axle under it? Jon

So why the ticket? Jon

But how is that pole secured to the truck? I do not see any tie downs. Just asking? Jon

I first read that as 2 miles of plastic wrap. LOL. Jon

Years ago, while driving a semi tractor trailer rig weighing about 100k, on Christmas Eve evening, a car hit the back left trailer wheels. And yes the car hung up there while I stopped to investigate the bump I felt. Couldn't see the car because visibilty was low. He had a choice, go to the...

And a way to haul two trees. Jon

Or be a mailbox. Jon

I always wanted a sky hook. Bet they do now also. Jon

I have heard of containers being dumped at sea because of rough seas and being top heavy. An iron foundry near us bought equipment from overseas years ago. Came in multiple containers. One was dumped overboard ad the company had to wait for pieces to be manufactured again. They were not...

How heavy are those containers on the bow,? Anyway to shift them towards the back to lighten the bow? Jon

Looks like there is a jack stand on the ground under the front right tire. Maybe the parking gear will hold it to the trailer. Jon

too much tongue weight. LOL. Jon

Or he backed up at night not realizing the water was there. Jon

That red Fury looks like it has a do not touch sign on the dash. Must have been heading to or from a show. Also I see a strap hook just dangling on front driver side of trailer. Jon
