Tips to Load your Tractor on a Trailer More Safely

Another tip is where the cab/steps are. Put skateboard tape below on the deck and around the steps area for extra traction for getting in and out more easily.

very helpful, I had to move my little tractor today and rented a trailer. Never did it before but these tips were reassuring!

[keithledford]

Good tips...One more for you, you can also put a 2x4 or some other marking toward the front of the trailer to know when you have pulled up enough to be centered on the trailer. It is like a parking curb on the trailer. It makes it very handy if your load is mostly consistent.

Excellent video, Roger. Could you show tractor tie-town system once you load the tractor? Always learn a bit more watching your videos. Thanks.

How well do those jacks on the back of the trailer hold up?

[davehudson]

One point, your wheel chocks are in one direction, you need to block the wheel to not roll.

Good information there! Is it me or your ramps seem to be like painted flat metal, super slick? Is there any texture on it I haven't seen? Thanks Roger!

Good tips. Nice video. Thanks for taking the time.

My friend. Nice video. Just one thing. When you move the tractor please put the tractor in N position and brakes on. See owner manual page xxx. Be safe.

Looks like a new tractor. What did you get are you going to do a video about it?

[mranch]

I have a few questions if you don't mind, I could really use some help finding a trailer to load a similar tractor. What model tractor is this? I have a Kubota M7060. Could you give me some more specifications on the trailer?

Tractor Mike says NEVER to have your truck facing downhill. Even a little downhill. You need to watch his video on what could happen

[bavarian]

All common sense, but it is surprising how often we get in a hurry and miss something!
Also loading a "tricycle" tractor needs a third ramp or a set of blocks so that it can lift the front end.

I am wondering if you haul for others? We are retired and want to haul tractors for extra change and travel. What are your thoughts?
And what size is your Kabota?
Thanks

@.30 Bad tip, you never ever load a trailer downhill, with 4wd or 2wd. If the rear lifts up, you have no parking brake holding the truck, trailer, and tractor will all go tumbling down.\\\\

When you pulled up there on the trailer you said the tractor was ready to tie down now you was way too far back on the trailer for weight distribution

[CindyCRNA]

Wait a minute! The other video said to never load a tractor even slightly downhill !

[PopWall-vqgd]

You should never load your trailer with out blocks under your trailer you have to keep that weight from pushing up on the back of your truck which can break the locking mechanism on your hitch that's very dangerous also it takes the weight off the tires on the truck if enough weight is taken off the truck and roll forward if on a hill ... if locking mechanism on hitch gets bent when you go to unload you can lose the trailer my father taught me this back in the sixties and the the one time I didn't do it the trailer come unhooked

[brucebannerman]

Does that tractor always sound like that? It would drive me crazy!
