Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Anyone noticed when suddenly they all had 'new' polaris UTV's? They still mention them by name, it's the only type of equipment they call by the brand name and when they first showed up they had a bunch of shots. You could tell they were added there for product placement because they were the only clean pieces of equipment.

VOLVO they must be giving equipment free for use, almost everyone uses Volvo. Also remember the Kubota and mattracks, that was a laugh,, like anyone will ever buy that setup.

This happened in my area about a year ago. The bridge was posted at 6 tons. Its a very rural bridge and I had crossed it a few days before this happened to it, and it almost seemed like the half ton pick up I was in was too heavy for it. And yeah, the concrete truck was loaded with something like 7 yards of concrete.

that would have been a wild ride

He should have just piled the bundles on the flatbed and tied them down. The old hide in plain sight trick. When Mamma and Daddy were still in the liquid corn business, they would haul through town during rush hour, and just hope no one noticed the front tires all most off the road.

i like that liquid corn lol.. but your right my father use to fish in river by police station with a 5 prong hook and a wooden leader lol no one payed any attention to him

Wonder if its a GPS routing problem?

Often an issue in our area... lots of 'outsiders' due to the gas wells and pipeline work in the past few years that has flooded our roads with people ONLY using GPS to get from point A to point B. Just because it tells you to go that way doesent mean you should take a dually with 40' gooseneck past our house... after 2 miles of gravel road that keeps getting more narrow you start down a steep hill... one you'll likely not back out of... then you find the hairpin turns... hope you wore comfortable walking boots... no cell coverage, gotta walk to the nearest house to call someone who cares. Sad thing is the road doesn't connect to the other ridge with the wells on it they are trying to get to... but GPS doesn't tell you that!

That's one I'm going to have to put down to the old quote:

If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.

Now tie down chains and such are a different story.

"If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid. " This is exactly what I told my wife just after I devised this plan. I had her get the Camera to document the possibility of stupidity happening.
