iF THAT RED P/U WAS PULLING THE TRAILER IT LOOKS LIKE A 1/2 TON. If that is so he wasn't very smart. Looks as backhoe probally was to far back on the trailer.

I would take this as an example of why it pays to do things correctly. Not knowing all the particulars, the driver just may have had his ducks in a row. Someone might well have cut him off and when the driver reacted, they may well have just lost it.

In looking at the video, I would have had the machine chained differently though it stayed with the trailer. It might have shifted backwards some when the trailer flipped.

I know of one last summer/fall. Guy was taking his newly restored tractor to a show and ended up exactly like that. He got cut off and lost it. Tow vehicle, trailer, load, securing devices were all in order.

To bad, did a number on his nice tractor too.

Looks as though he lost both hubs on right side of trailer. Overall I would say he had load secure enough on trailer. V

Looks like it may have been a rental in the video. Hope he took the full insurance! :eek:
