For those saying they dont need to be so dramatic when it comes to backing a tractor off a ramp, loading and unloading is the MOST dangerous part of equipment use

[@jonniessink1]

I agree. As someone who used to transport heavy equipment, the most dangerous part is when on the ramps and going over the trailer tires especially when wet. And worst one is the the rubber tracked unit. I money delt with the John deere version but they are basically the same very very nose heavy with out an implement on the back. They basically pivot on the front idler roller. If I wasn't very careful when unloading the front weights would kiss the ground and it would feel like you were going to be thrown out the front window.

Go read the specs, this this is truly a beast, and can be weighted to nearly 60k lbs... The "Fendt" brand is more designed for European specs, they not only use these for field equipment but as we in the US would use a Semi truck, these have air brakes, suspension etc... its as much a road "truck" to them as a "field tractor" to us...
