A lot of folks who own tractors have trailers to haul them around. There's a big danger if they're not loaded on level ground. In this video I illustrate the wrong way to place a truck and trailer to load a tractor that can be potentially disastrous. NEVER load with the truck headed down a hill. You'll see why when you see what happens to the pickup truck when the tractor goes up the ramps on to the trailer. It amazed me when I watched the filming when I was done.

The weight of a decent sized compact tractor, as it goes up the trailer ramps, can lift up the back end of the truck. If weight of the truck on the back wheels is what holding the truck in place, the truck can start moving and it can free wheel to wherever gravity takes it, with you on the tractor and helplessly half on the trailer. I've seen it happen and it's not pretty.

Bottom line is, load your truck on level ground and put some chock blocks underneath the truck tires. You don't want to ride an out-of-control truck and trailer to the bottom of a hill.
