I love how he put so much weight behind the axle. He probably had to make that adjustment to get the VW's front (drive) tires back down on the ground or it wouldn't have moved at all.

Similar to the VW photo, this happened here.
Bozo delivered a 300 lb plastic tank to me on a huge backhoe trailer. He ignored me waving my arms frantically, and drove downhill into a curving dead-end. Plenty of hp but so slippery that he couldn't back out with 2wd.
I finally got his trailer turned around and back out of there. Part of the way it required setting the backhoe's feet and using its bucket curl to drag the monster uphill on saturated ground.

Funny part is that's a $35 extension cord and you can get a nice tow strap at HF for $12.99 or less.
Walking over a dollar for a penny.

I agree, it's just like fighter jets and air to air refueling.

I have to admit, most of this stuff is funny to see on this thread. However, some of it is downright OMG scary. If the VW had more of the weight further back behind the axes, he wouldn't have challenged the tongue weight so much. The tow weight is another thing entirely.
At least this makes me feel better about some of the dumb stuff I've done in the past.
