In Reply to: Tractor loading revisited. posted by Hugh MacKay on May 20, 2004 at 19:56:42:
I have two trailers. (1) 9 ton tri-axel. (2) 20 ton w/air brakes. Both are bumper pulls. Both have wood decks. I can't recall ever spinning a drive tire while loading forward or backwards. If that had ever happened to me, I would have put sides on the trailers, changed the deck somehow, or quit trailering. Successful bailouts on a tractor are a very rare occurance. I never EVER use any throttle position higher than the absolute lowest possible idle. And I always use the TA if it is available. I usually load going forward because most of my tractors that I move are trikes and I only have two ramps. First gear is usually slower than reverse. I haven't mastered the art of angle loading while in reverse. In fact, I have no need to. Backward loading is usually done when implements are attached. An old piece of 8" channel can handle one of the trike tires when the CG is near the rear axel. I wonder if John Deere owners approach this subject differently.
