Some folks don't know that the last thing you want to do if you want the pucker string to last a full lifetime is to not back the skid loader onto the trailer./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

How true, how true.

My Dad was unloading a tractor in the same fashion. We had the wheels blocked and the brakes set, but I still didn't like the looks of setup and told him so. But he went ahead and started to back down the trailer. As the weight shifted to the rear of the axel it picked up the rear of the truck and it rolled over those blocks like they weren't even there. Ol Dad went shooting down the hill, tractor, trailer and truck in all his glory. I wasn't able to jump in the cab and apply the brakes...all I could do was watch him pass into the next life.

Moral of the story.... never unload on a hill. Drive a little to live a little longer.
