    If I had to haul that, my first instinct would be to load it the other way and see where I stand on my gauges

    Thats what i was thinking also, common sense would tell you that most of the weight of that machine is in the rear

    True. But the way it looks, he’s pushing 39k on the trailer 26k roughly on his drives. Just guessing

    You know I didn't even think about that that weight sitting on those rails can't be good I mean I would think that the deck itself would take a lot of the stress off but yeah that is a lot of stress on those rails. I mean when he drove it on the back that tail of that step deck dip down over a foot.

    Ideally that's how I would have. But he was way too nervous to back that thing on that deck. And in many ways I can't blame him especially considering that he had never done equipment at all before.

    Yeah I was kind of thinking he might be right on that line but I wasn't sure because I didn't really know what that machine weighed and he said it was about 45k. He checked the gauge and said he thought he was good.

    Didn't a former member of this site use to load stuff like that on his stepdeck until the ramps gave way while he was loading a CAT machine and it tore up his trailer? Or maybe tore up the CAT? He was from Florida.

    That one almost looks like you loaded in a ghost town or something, where is that? It's just too adorable.
