Another new project -- old tractor with loader | Page 3 | General Homesteading Discussion | Forums

This won't be happening for a while if ever. Rented the trailer for $68 this past Friday. They hooked up the trailer and all connections and off we drove. Got the tractor loaded up and drove off -- the trailer disconnected from the hitch (it is likely it was never latch on to the ball fully) 1/2 mile down the road and nearly flipped the vehicle we were in. Went into the oncoming lane of traffic and rolled the trailer with the tractor on it. Luckily no one was hurt.

The tractor has loader frame damage, and least one of the front spindles is bent, and the radiator, air filter are shot, and steering wheel. What concerns me the most is the bent loader frame -- I'm not sure how you can fix that.

KVR -- now wishing I would have had the tow company move the tractor as they were the ones who towed it back to my friends house

Surprisingly the trailer just had dented fenders and was in good shape. They flipped it and drove it back to the rental shop.
