I would say he had the tractor chained to the trailer good.

Unusual way of jacking to change tires on the trailer, but whatever works.

yep chained well and ROPS worked.

1 in a million (10 million) shot to get it on its end like that.

I'm thinking that at this point they'd be hard to find altogether. gm

What will happen if we take the trailer safety chains off so we can use them to tie the tractor down to the trailer ?

Maybe after upright again, let sit, oil settle back down, pull injectors, clear oil from cylinders then reinstall, then go back to work. Could be hydro locked, I had to do this to an Iseki powered compact once, after it was turned over.

I read the original post on Facebook. The tail wagged the dog. The truck rolled 3 or 4 times in the ditch. Safety chains were ripped off the trailer and still in the truck hitch. The tractor had a tiller on and I think it was loaded very close to neutral hitch weight. Probably should have had the loader up over the nose of the trailer and put more weight on the truck.

What in the heck is that supposed to be. It gets super bonus points for the reflectors and extra washers.

Bet it's on a truck loaded with a bunch of useless cosmetic accessory junk and has never pulled a trailer.

The posts on FB showed one missing wheel that completely torn thru the lug nuts, the wheel next to it was about half torn thru. No clear explaination yet. Trailer looked pretty old on the underside, and the evidence of the tires look like the best deal on a used tire was the decision on the last tires, rather than the "right" tires.

Load & balance your stuff correctly, and take care of your trailer properly !

Looks like the trailer is chained to the tractor pretty well.
