After they have it slide of the trailer.

[@marcusgault9909]

I once slid a 4WD tractor sideways into a fairly deep sheaugh(a wide open drain or watercourse) in my only defence the tyres were dammed near slick, I first attempted digging away below the upper rear tyre to no avail, she would not come back down, she just sat and gently rocked on the now securely bottomed out rear tyre, while pivoting on the front axle, now credit to David Brown's engineering of the 1980's the low oil pressure light never came on, despite the near 45 degree side ways position. Anyway, since it was safe to run the engine, and she was bottomed out already and could go no deeper, I creedled her back and forth, putting cut branches and brash beneath the tyres each time , until at last, a few hours later, I got her out, just as a local farmer turned up. As I started to espouse my heroic efforts in my entirely successful and unaided extraction, Boydie punctured my ego by stating; "I would be more interested in how you put her in the sheaugh" Which is my long-winded way of saying, thanks for the upfront "confession" as to the how the mishap happened. Marcus P.S. She got new tyres the next week!

[@brokendown63]

From what I read this slid off the Trailer immediately after being loaded and before the Trailer was moved.. Every one I've ever seen slide has been while loading or mere seconds after, well before it could be chained down or moved.

[@super6954]

Glad everybody was safe after that and the recovery was easy to, My guess is it just flopped over on it's side slowly just like it did when they pulled it up. I've heard old guys I know well , say they've seen stuff go over like it's in slow motion on sites over the years. Guys tipped a crane in the river by here while trying to rescue a semi truck and it's load of steel coils that fell off down the bank. The guy felt it start going over and just climbed out the cab and watched it go. they had fun getting that out though as it was on a narrow road by a single tracked old country bridge. they had 2 smaller cranes that fitted down the road and used big concrete blocks to anchor them down to stop them moving during the lift.

[@jimharvard]

i rented a lot of small equipment that i've run off and on trailers. i'm wondering (and i don't know the answer) but wouldn't winching heavy equipment onto a trailer always be the safest loading technique? i've watched a ton of videos on loading equipment (for my own education) and it always appears that the machine placing power to the tracks always causes the accident where one track loses traction. winching would eliminate this risk.

[@culmalachie]

As you say now, me too for educational purposes... It's a lot of a Palaver to winch everything on - BUT... for peace of mind + another attachment & securing point. It's a question of breaching a tradition.

[@johnnyholland8765]

Stuff happens..... Liked that "soft landing". Neighbor rolled a Cat excavator unloading it and got banged up pretty good. Asphalt tracks and a slick trailer did the trick. It was a farmer who hadn't had it for very long. He won't load it anymore. He lets his son do it now. Think he may have crapped his pants. He won't admit it but son said there was a strange odor in the cab now........Great recovery and appears little damage.

[@waynepickhardt4975]

I've had a few close calls loading and unloading machines. The point where the machine is going over center on the ramps is critical.

[@oakleydavid7619]

I turned a big Ford BAC how over on it side. Tilt trailer. Frost on everything. Hauling with bucket offer the truck. You name it Accident waiting to happen. Back tires of how got to trailer tires and I had to give it a bit of fuel. When I did it just stood up on the back tires and come down with the left front tire off of the trailer. The bucket over the dump bed held it a bit but not enough. I stood up and watched it in gold trying not to panic. And it worked. I stood up and knew it was going over to the left so I grabbed the right gender with a pretty firm squeeze and didn't let go. The how was laying on its left side and was standing on the ground two feet from the how with a still nice firm grip on that fender. It had no top on it and for me to stay and ride that out I think would have been foolish.

[@brokendown63]

Wow! The comment clowns are running wild in here! What few realize is when on a trailer, or other hard surface, how little of the track is actually in contact. What you have is a lot of weight on several small rounded cleats and they will slide. Wet wood is slick as snot and when they start to slide it happens fast. Often during or directly after loading and before chains even become part of the picture.

Think from some of the detailed replies here, there is a case for making a video to show HOW it should be done properly.

Everyone AND the Regulatory Authorities like to spout forth and Throw the Book AFTERWARDS, time to be more Proactive.

The 'F's were a 6 cylinder like a D6-C. I've operated the E's and F's a good bit and the G's a little and what I can tell, a G is like the difference between a D6-B and a C. The F's were fast and powerful. But I still like the old slow turning E series but that's just me.

[@dozer1642]

Nice theory. Completely wrong and uninformed, but nice.

[@wpog8453]

Dozer1642 yes it is a theory and somewhat uninformed because I haven't seen anyone say what actually happened. Maybe I didn't make that clear. I meant to say that that COULD have been what happened. As I'm guessing that you already know, most dozers will slide downhill before they tip over. But if that track wedged deep enough in the mud, it would not slide and if the angle of the dozer became steep enough it could tip over in a situation like that. If you'll notice in the video, when the guy pulls the dozer back upright, the left track is BARELY resting on the ground at that angle which means almost all of the weight is resting on the outside edge of the right track. It could easily tip over again. Another good example is that there are sports cars that can drift or go into a 360 degree spin at 100 mph no problem. But let him hit a small 3 in. deep pot hole and what do you think is going to happen? So yeah I don't really know what youre trying to get at other than leaving a snarky remark. Many times, those that leave remarks like that on plausible comments like mine aren't necessarily good equipment operators. Not assuming that you aren't.... just sayin.
