    That’s usually when I have to do it, I don’t own the trailer so it’s not always up to me.

    The RGN broken ? Sure there may be a time when it has to be done . But clearly this was not one of them !

    Guessing the RGN is just fine but did you watch the full video?? This is clearly the perfect time to side load the shovel on the trailer sideways. The trailer is clearly to short, by severl feet, for it to be loaded in the traditional manner.

    I’d imagine it was too wide for the trailer as well as too long for the well.

    I've had to do it as well, but I don't like to.

    I wouldn't have hauled that one though.

    Looks like a good way to increase your odds of breaking something but it worked so what do I know...
