I think its time to trade tractor haulers!

Went to move the combine today for the first time with the new truck, and trailer. As you can see it didnt work to well. The inside six inches of each tire was on the trailer, but when the combine tires got on the trailer tires it was on! I was too tore up to grab a pick of it just dangling, but there's about 2' of cribbing there. Got it jacked up, cribbed it, and backed it off. The only damage was to my ego. Until I can afford to get a detach neck with some swing outs, Ill just move the dozer, excavator, and tractors with this thing and hire the combine hauled!

If I had been driving it , there would have been some damage to some underwear. lol glad everything worked out.

I've loaded lots of stuff,never had anything like that happen. Major 'pucker factor'!

Yep them side unloads are fun . I have dropped two old cable shovels off the side one while tryen to load and one while unloading on a frosty deck , while backing into a oil well lease road one time to unload a dozer as i was backing in off a narrow side road when the trailer tires were dead over the 4 foot culvert the culvert collapsed on the left side putting the trailer on about a thirty drgree lean and the frame on the road and the gooseneck on the drive tires , with noway to get a wrecker in the only thing to do is back the dozer off the trailer and use it to pick up the trailer and shove it out . So up in the seat and start to back it off nice and slow , was going really well till it just slid off down into the ditch leaving me and the dozer at about a 45-50 degree angle with one track in the ditch and one still on the trailer , now what and with about fifteen people all standing there with the shocked look on there faces i told one of them to get into the cab and steer and when he did i pulled the left steering clutch back and put the dozer in reverse and just as nice as up pleased the right track walked the truck and trailer out . Now to get the dozer out of the ditch with a little wiggling i got it turned and just cut me a ramp up and out . and i had ramps kick out while unloading a combine so i know how you feel.

I was sent out to haul in a JD tractor that had been hit by a car, as the tractor was coming out of a driveway. The impact damaged the WFE and flatten the tire. It may have a 4440 size JD. As I loaded the tractor the front wheel was damaging the wooden deck. One back tire was half on and half over the edge of the trailer. To try to move it back and forth to center it, might have put that wheel thru the deck. I chained it down and took it back to the dealer. Boss would have liked to have had a cow, when he saw that tire hanging off. I would have done it differently today, but back then I was a whole lot more, unknowledgable. I know it isn't a real word, but it is an accurate discription

Loading TS-14 Euclid scrapers were about the same.
About 2/3 of the tires were off the side of the Talbert trailer. Wasn't too awful bad unless it was wet out, then it was a real fight.

Unless your moving a combine 50 miles or more just drive it. If you count the total time from loading and tying down you can usually be there drive in about the same time.

Also a detach trailer is not all that much fun to haul a combine either.

I think with a new trailer I would buy a new Stanley tape measure.

That whole picture looks staged to me. looks like a 2X6 on the left side of the trailer on edge any body with an oz of brains would see it will not fit on there and whats with the old lever jack

Peterson bite me!
