I'd hardly say these guys are " idiots"! This kind of stuff happens to everybody at times. I would have done what he ultimately done probably a little sooner but, they resolved the problem and didn't get hurt or damage equipment, a win in my book!

Pretty hard on trailer & rear door hinges on SS

[@wht240sxka]

They’re idiots for getting themselves in that situation to start with. The way those ramps are, work best on even ground. There is a road right there, instead they drive in a mushy field thinking that’s gonna save time?? The trailer is probably damaged because the tongue of it isn’t designed for that kind of weight and stress. They’d be lucky to not have hairline fractures. I had a trailer drive over the other tire when backing up, all because I had to get on the brakes hard and the trailer caused me to shimmy to a stop. Broke the shackle mount on one side. Drove fine until I got to the sight and put her in reverse. I thought I ran over someone or something and my heart stopped. That trailer was rated for way more. Just surprised it broke so easily.

Unload in the road. You have to think like a big rig truck driver even with little truck trailer. I unload on level solid ground only. I take no chances with mud, ditches, soft ground ect.

Pull the pins on the ramps ,then take the ramps off, then drive off trailer.

[@ChevyConQueso]

Dude standing by the ramps and the operator climbing out with the skid steer halfway up them and the arms up had me cringing. I wouldn't put myself in either of those places.

[@jacobdeming3135]

I've been in the same position when a old rusted Culvert pipe caved in when the trailer went across it. Just drove off the back without putting the Ramps down.....

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

Could’ve taken the ramps off and driven smoothly right off the back

[@theamazingadventuresofjohn]

My thoughts exactly

[@Scott_A]

Ramps not easily removed without a grinder

[@HiddenValleyHomestead]

@Scott A wrong. All those trailers have a removable pin.

[@Scott_A]

@@HiddenValleyHomestead maybe some when they are new, any trailers and beavertail trucks like that we ever came across while working for 3 different plant hire companies were welded in and not even originally welded by us, true they never had brand new trailers but it is extremely unlikely that those companies somehow got the only ones ever with welded pins. Not to mention all the pins that get warped from loading/unloading on uneven ground and the odd slap of a machine. All the lowbed, large trailers had removable pins but they were a bigger diameter and caused less problems. Unfortunately when people hear that something can carry 10 ton, they all know that means it has been tested to a highter weight and therefore overload more and more, and ramps that can move side to side to allow for different track widths are the ones that get the most abuse

I wonder if they could have picked up the pallet and back all the way up to the ramps to take load off the hitch for easy cranking and disconnect from the trailer and drive the truck out, than pick up the pallet and turn 180 degrees around while on top of the trailer and lower the trailer all the way down to the ground and drive off toward the front either side of the jack?

Push the pallet forward and drive the skidder to the front also which might take the weight off the back enough to flip the ramps further down

Put the truck in neutral that way when you push on the ramps it can jack the rear of the trailer up and move it backwards at the same time thus you can drive right off. These 2 are definitely not the brightest bulbs on the tree
