I'll ask- Why not just back it on? Why worry about swinging it?

I always hated backing on or off a trailer when you can't see ground/trailer/tires. And that was on a deck over, that's higher up than a step.

 

You answered your own question.

 

The worst thing that can happen is you turn your step into a beam trailer.

 

.......

 

Yes, but if you back it on, it's easy to drive off. So that's the answer, drive on, swing to the back, drive off?
I still live by the only stupid question is the one that never gets asked. And, sometimes learning the WHY you are doing it that way, is better than just being told "that's just the way things are done".

 

Im worried about this. RGN would be better than a stepdeck.

It's not the weight end to end long ways it's going to be that gravity finding center high sideways... you are gonna be tippy on that stepdeck.

That is all Im going to squeak about on this piece of equiptment. There are many others better than me who will talk about this with sense than me. But my first thought is that thing is going to be so tippy.

 

Exactly. And sometimes you realize they don't know the WHY, they just do it that way because that's all they know. To a certain point, the old timers that "I've been doing it that way for 50 years" aren't the best to learn from. MJ or JD or Six or Catalina or anyone that CAN think outside the box are the guys to learn from. My 2 cents.
