Yeah don't drive on without the trailer hooked up. I did this several times with a 4 wheeler trailer we had at work. It was a very small, short trailer, just big enough for the 4 wheeler. I got to where if I did it very slow, it would work. The problem is the rise in the front of the trailer and then the slamming back down can be very sudden and hard. On this little trailer, loading a 4 wheeler, no damage was done but only because it was so small and the weight was low, on a big trailer with a heavier tractor, alot of damage could be done.
I've done that several times with my ATV too onto a 250# trailer - which is precisely the reason I didn't try it with my 2000# trailer and 6000# tractor. I could only imagine the carnage.
