St Louis Mi auction accident

onefarmer · Apr 24, 2009

Just got back from the consignment auction. A guy was loading a JD A and I don't know what exactly what happened, but looked like he loaded it on to a low trailer and then tried backing it on to a higher trailer when it flipped off.

Anyone here see just what happened?

The guy was pinned underneath and the ambulance left quietly, so doesn't sound good.

Let's keep this guy and his family in our prayers!

Every time I see some one driving a tractor on a trailer(sometimes with narrow ramps),I get the feeling, that it could flip or turn over on them.So sorry that this happened.

When you EVEN think about the front end comin' up take a tip from this old dirt biker - Keep your foot/hand on the clutch ... if she starts comin' up the clutch will let you back down way quicker than the throttle ... my 2 cents. 8)

While I didn't see it. Looked like he pulled forward on to the short trailer and backed on to the taller trailer. Trailers butt end to butt end. And looked like he put one hind (right) wheel off the side of the taller trailer and over it went.

Sorry to hear about that. Our prayers here are with him and his family. I don't drive anything up on the trailer anymore. Bought a winch and I use it.
