Tractor slides off icy trailer

[jb1390]

I was unloading a small tractor from my trailer once on an icy road-on a hill of course. When I drove the tractor back, tongue weight was removed from the truck (not in 4x4) and caused the whole thing to start sliding. Another guy with me was able to jump in the truck and hit the brakes in time, so I didn't go for much of a ride, but enough to scare me.

Now I always drop my truck in 4 wheel before loading/unloading, icy or not.

I like the cable winch arrangement. Only thing is to stand off to the side a bit, hopefully with a remote just in case that cable parts and comes a calling.:shocked:
