I had a friend loading his tractor, picked the rear of the pickup up and he panicked, kept going forward and jack knifed the trailer right into the rear of his truck. I keep some blocks on my trailer to put under the rear when loading to prevent that.

Well, I now am a Yanmar owner!
It's out in front of the house on the trailer.
Got home in daylight, but hubby had something to go to, so we left it on the trailer for the night. (Not a good idea to unload it in the dark by myself.)
To review:
A YM2000D with a fairly new Bush Hog FEL with a 5' bucket and a 4' Tractor Supply bush hog (King Kutter?) with a stump jumper.
The previous owner was the first owner post Japan as far as we can tell. He decided against having it repainted (the dealer asked him, he said nahh...) So it has Japanese and English instructions and original paint. (He recently painted the wheels for the heck of it.)
The hour meter actually died not long after I saw it but it is 900+ hours. Has a Thermostart. Agricultural tires front and rear. The starter was rebuilt in December. No fluid leaking of any significance. 2 quarter sized spots - 1 front 1 rear. No smoke.
It has been very nicely maintained and the guy even changed a seal a couple weeks ago on the right front wheel even though he knew I was going to take it. I think he was having a few twinges of regret today as he hadn't found his replacement tractor yet.
Here are are our loading pictures (husband is in blue jacket).
Oh yeah -- thanks guys for the input on trailers (California, DnD) We ended up borrowing a 12' dual axle. Fit beautifully with bush hog in the truck bed. :thumbsup:
