The guy that thought of that is a genius.

The guys trying to load the Kubota are obviously mentally retarded. I'm always amazed guys like this are capable of accumulating enough funds to acquire anything beyond basic needs. The driver's not even wearing a seat belt in an obvious high risk rollover situation.

What the heck! Those are so awfully predictable. Aye Carumba!

There are a lot of vids on the net of people loading backhoes and excavators up onto stuff. I haven't seen one where it goes wrong yet. Amazing skill.

Seen that done a few times get the right operator and it's not a big deal. Want to see something crazy check out the BH's that go up on top of train cars to unload. A person would have to have cast iron_______ to work with one of them.

Having seen them in operation, NOT a job I'd want.

I have seen those self loaders in use. Awesome! Herzog did not just cobble the loader together, it was engineered and Joe Dokes is not operating it, it comes with a Herzog trained operator. As for the other videos, using a plank to support a 600 to 700 pound tractor is not the brightest thing to do. The guy that puts a couple of supports under the planks, no nails holding them in place???

I have loaded my lawn tractor into my vain many times. I have steel ramps rated at 1500 pounds and once loaded I tie down the tractor and block the wheels, nothing is going to move.

And how do I keep from going end over end? Simple, shift to low-low and creep up the ramps and the end of the ramps are ATTACHED to the bed, will not kick out.
