You are left with a lifelong memory when you feel the trailer unhitch and you see it going wild back there in the mirror. I have had it happen three times. One time was when someone else hooked up the trailer and set it down on the ball with the latch still closed so the hitch was just sitting on the latch instead of settling down over the ball. i was negligent in not checking it over before I took off with it. It was a top heavy seed tender with four pro boxes of seed corn. There was probably $30,000 worth of seed on the trailer. I had pulled it probably 30 miles, pulled into the field lane, discovered I was in the wrong lane and backed it back onto the road. I stopped backing, stepped on the brakes and the top heavy trailer came off the ball, tipped back until it hit the safety chains and then the tongue came back down and hit the ground. The only damage was the wires pulled out of the trailer plug. I had stopped the trailer at the edge of the ditch. If the safety chains would have let go the tender would have dumped upside down in the ditch. Whew!
