Transporting with the loader in the air

   / Transporting with the loader in the air #31  
i haul tractors all the time from texas and oklahoma back to louisiana all the time from tractor auctions with the loaders raised in the air when i have to many tractors on the tralier to let it down cause i dont wont to crush the fenders and the others but i always use angle iron and hose clamp on the cylinder rod and let the loader down against them to hold the cylinders up so i dont blow any packing in them but i wouldn't try and leave it raised if i didn't have them under them cause i have had packings blow just from leaving it up on the lot and i have seen the rods bend when hauling cause of the bumps

Mayhap the poor dude didn't even figure that the way to get the loader DOWN is to push the lever FORWARDS ?
Sometimes it is just about THAT BAD on this forum (-:

Could be, and maybe the guy is the same dolt that left a driveshaft in the middle of I-76 for a buddy and me to dodge coming back from the local transportation museum the other day.
