  • Well, the problem was the trailer wasn't wide enough. There wasn't even half of each track on the trailer. It would have fell off if it would have got all the way up on the trailer. That trailer was a 1966 and not made for this type of equipment. They loaded a D7E CAT dozer on this and bent the ramps completely off the trailer.

  • Pros didnt start out pros ;)

  • Pick up your tracks and walk forward and boom/stick in while you walk up onto the beavertail of the bed. Once the front of your tracks are above the beavertail ramps, spin the machine and pick up your tracks till your level and start walking forward until your on. Then slowly spin and face the tractor or front of the trailer and put your bucket on the deck and walk forward and boom/stick in until your over the tires of the trailer and onto the lowbed deck. Have a nice day.

  • what he is doin is childs play i used to side load on one of the trailers we used to have ,,do that then you can call yourself an operator..

  • take the ramps and throw them away, you don't even need them to load that, i'm sure it'll fit, we used to haul the hitachi's 200lc's on a 1970's phelan lowboy, i believe it was 96" wide, no problems loading, it was a little narrow over the tires but once you got the outriggers out and on top of them, no problem, before that we hauled a drott 40d on a tag trailer

  • Is the cab on the opposite side

  • non operator

  • haha..does he know what he is doing...

  • Wouldn't sticking the arm all the way out, thereby moving the center of gravity closer to the trailer, help?

  • I could load our td8 on that trailer with two pieces of 6x6 blocking. The spotter wasn't too good either. not telling him to get the bucket OFF the deck once the tracks were on. And a little more throttle would help with feathering the hydraulics and hydros.

  • that is so fucking easy to do first get the tracks on the flat bed than turn around and lift the other end with the boom and then push ur self on it

  • eed to dig a hole deep enough for tires to go down and level trailer in back with ground. then strap machine down to trailer and use the bucket to lift trailer tires out and move to the left or right of hole. LMFAO

  • not hte operators fault, thats a shitty float truck. you can't get a "running" start with a hoe you moron
