Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Nevermind the tow rating of the vehicle. Hope the trailer has brakes.

It doesn't. It has a 2100# rated axle and 12" tires. Mine has been retired to farm utility work.

I saw this on Facebook.

Those took to be 5000# axles judging by the 6 lug pattern and in many states only one axle is required to have brakes. I'd rather get another pilot vehicle and road it wherever it's going rather than chance it that way.

That backhoe is about 20,000, +- 4000, I think.

My guess is, some facebook dude is just playing games to get our goat. Loaded it, took the picture, then off loaded it. I doubt he moved it at all.

And still bent the trailer a little in the process. That's a lot of weight up front.

At least he's masked (outside....).

That trailer probably took permanent damage in that stunt. I doubt they loaded it just for a picture. I agree just driving the backhoe would have been safer.
