Tractor
Branson 7845C
This building weighs somewhere around 6,000 lb of raw, dead weight, and some top heavy tipping hazard to boot. Join me for the
trip from Illinois to Kentucky and see how the Branson 65 HP tractor fared. It was a bit of a nail biter no doubt, but I knew it would work :)

I think you're fortunate nothing bad happened when you drug that shelter by high hitching it over the 3 pt quick attach. Especially when you forced it all over that stump. A very good way to have the tractor just cartwheel over backwards. You should have just chained it up directly to the draw bar. That way your attachment point is below the center line of the rear axle, and you don't have a lever trying to turn your tractor over backwards.

Just my 2 cents.

So you have a house in Kentucky, hoed you get it on the trailer, and what's the building for, UTV? I wanted to see the front of the tractor come up while you was pulling that building, can you pull it again with the camera in another location......

Well, I specifically chained it over the 3 point so that I could get some lift on those front skis. Things like this are never perfection, and its not like this is something that many people do every day. I also kept the chain long at the beginning in
case it did want to slide down even farther. With a project like this, I don't think there is any 'perfect' way. Thanks.

Part one is on my channel just one or two vids ahead of this one that shows how it was loaded. It took a crane lift and fork lift to pick it up and get it on the trailer.

The front end of the tractor never once came off the ground.
