Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

You should have 2 straps per bale, in case one fails. Or maybe 3 per bale in case two fail. Then put a steel cable net over the whole load. And a tight tarp to stop straw from blowing off into someone's eye.

You can never be too safe. Think of the children.

Quick tip: the top studs on the rear shocks are hard to get to with a wrench to get any real torque on them to bust them loose, especially while trying to keep the barrel from rotating (might not be an issue with a Cali truck), but there is an opening on either side frame rail where you can get a sawzall blade in along the crossmember. Even fumbling around, shouldn't take you more than half an hour to do both. Fronts were pretty easy too. Rockauto had decent prices when I did mine...

TBN members are the best!

Thanks

Crappy photo's taken off my dash cam in my semi on CA 60 freeway this past week .:confused3:








Picture 1 and 3 are of a pickup loaded way high with pallets . picture 2 is of a suv pulling a trailer loaded the same .
The pickup could get up to maybe 30 mph before he would start losing control , Suv could go a little faster before trailer started really pitching back and forth , taking the suv with .:shocked:

And make sure you have a lead pilot car and a following car with blinking lights, "wide load" signs, etc. Also, make sure you wear a safety vest, hard hat, steel toe boots and eye protection when loading.

Or you can go commando like I do and put a block behind the back two. But then I max out a 10 mph and go a few hundred feet on a seldom traveled road. 10,000 bales later, never lost one.

... and don't hit a light pole.

Yeah, that's probably key!

Hope they are just hauling a wood splitter.

Wow, I've done some pretty dumb stuff but that never even crossed my mind.

Shouldn't be hard to track down the Connecticut owner of this pickup...
