    Looks like a loves.

    Maybe he dropped for a tractor repair and then coupled like a moron.?

    I can see it's off center, but to be honest, I didn't try to analyze it too deeply since it is a phone video and I can't zoom it...unless you know how to zoom a video from someone else's phone :) I see the coils off center, but can't see the landing gear real well, hence my assumption it was disconnected and went on it's own, else, it may have made the truck move a little if it was really attached still...so....my deductive reasoning with what's available is why I made my comment.

    Well at least his chains are tight. I personally would have just strapped this load and been done with it. I never understood the whole “steel on steel” thing. C381D728-56E8-4331-99C7-46E8E1DB23C0.jpeg

    Id have strapped it too. When our choice was chains or ropes, steel on steel made sense. Today straps work fine on most of this stuff.

    I like straps on pipe & tubes, but chains are quicker
