My boss bought a well used Bobcat skid-steer loader with a custom trailer. This appears to be the trailer the Bobcat came with, looks to have started life as a rental unit.
This trailer sits low to the ground, and has short ramps, about 3 ft. long, that fold down for loading and unloading.
Putting the loader on the trailer is a terrifying experience! All of us are novices at operating this, and even with the bucket extended fully forward, it feels like it is really wanting to roll over backward!
I don't think it can go over on flat ground, but with the rear wheels near the top of the ramps, the counterweight would go down between the ramps and sure looks like it could go all the way over.
