Hauling a tractor with a pickup

[CompactTractorFan]

Came across this picture while doing a Google search. I have never seen someone haul a tractor of this size in a truck bed: :confused2:

Yikes- Can that be real - it looks it

It does look real, but if it is.... how in the world do you load it? Seems like it would break/bend the tailgate, or at least snap those little cables that hold the tailgate up. The only way I can see to do it without doing any damage is by backing up to a permanent loading ramp, then using portable ramps to bridge the gap between the truck bed and the fixed ramp.

That's an accident just waiting to happen.

I, myself, would most definitely, not attempt this maneuver. I wouldn't even consider it. I didn't see any chains or straps used to even secure the load during transport. Perhaps, these devices are hidden, but I didn't detect any whatsoever.

There's no tie down point in a truck bed rated for that....hate to see what they would do working on trees!

It would be a better choice to haul it in his dump trailer.Totally unsafe.It might not be overweight,but there's no way to properly secure it.It would surely hurt someone if it rolled out on a busy road.Any good cop would give him a ticket oneway or another.

I wonder if the tractor is tied to a bed-sized ramp that is winched into the bed.

I was wondering that too. seems the tractor is sitting on something very thick....
