Its awesome to see you post another video. Pulled up your page the other day just in case i missed a post. That machine is killer. For what you want to do I'm sure it's big enough. As far as the seats, you can always sorce new seats if needed. (All tho you did look like a kid on one of those toys). 🤪🤪🤪 Glad you made it home safe with it. Having been in the semi as long as i was i seen all kind of things on the road. Seen that exact same thing happen to several people whole they were pulling verious trailers, sad thing is most made the mistake of speeding up instead of slowing down. Has to do with the weight balance on the trailer. Those plants are awesome. Once you're able to get them outside they'll take off even more. What you need to do is get them closer to real sun light so they dont sun burn once out in the sun. But just beware that rabbits and other varmentes will enjoy the fresh greens of the plants. Awesome video. Things haven't changed here much. Did get kinda nasty with the Dr's about 10 days ago about having to keep dealing with all this pain without any meds. My pcp says he can't write any scripts for anything stronger than what he's given me. (Guess with the crack down on opioids they've went around and threatened to start chopping Dr's nuts off if they write scripts for meds. So much for being a Dr in todays world). Take care Sir 🚜🚜🚜
HEY Lonnie!!! Great to hear from you, and yes, lots more videos to come! Trust me, every time I'm on that machine if feels like a big toy, so if I looked like a kid on it I guess it's appropriate!! Hahaha. Yeah, in reading up on trailer sway, it definitely wasn't placed in the center of the trailer by the forklift, and it probably was a little off balance front-to-back as well. Slowing down always seems like the wise option when things are going wrong. The plants are doing well, and I'm going to be bringing them outside in about a week, for some natural sunlight exposure - gotta harden them a bit before planting time. Sorry to hear about your pain and ongoing medical stuff - sending you wishes for getting all that sorted out. Stay tuned - work is being done at the farm and lots more to come! :-)
@@BuyingTheFarm I'm thinking you should grow some herbs for cooking. Heck you already have the equipment. As far as these Dr's, about ready to give up on all of them. Probably get better treatment from a vet, then again the boys vet retired. Not sure who's there now.
Lonnie, at my house I have a very large garden as well (20x90) and I grow a wide variety of herbs in a fenced-in area. Lots of critters also appreciate the herbs lol. If I tried to grow that stuff at the farm it would be a disaster - way too much wildlife. As it is, I'm going to have to setup an electric fence if I have any hopes of growing any produce from these plants!
Carry some small ramps/steps made from solid 2x10"s when you use that trailer. If you put them behind the truck rear wheels and back up the ramps, it will cause the front of the trailer to rise, which lowers the rear of the trailer and flattens out the overall angle of the ramps to the trailer. I have to do this to load low or short wheel base cars all the time. Also, definitely that machine should be loaded rear of machine to the front of the trailer....it needed more tongue weight to keep from swaying.
Hey Python! Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment. That trailer (specifically the ramps) have been an enigma. They're like 36" long, and when level the trailer sits about 19" off the ground - so they're just abnormally short. I even got a trailer hitch with an 11" rise, and it didn't do anything for the usability. SO, I bought metal (same as what the ramps are made from) to fabricate some 36" extensions. I just haven't done it yet, and naturally the opportunity presented itself where I had to go get that machine ASAP. Had we been able to load it backwards, I think that definitely would have helped, as you said. Lessons learned for next time, right? :-)
Hahahaha, hey Mike - thanks for coming back to check out the new video. All is well, except the weather - but I think that's improving too. Stay tuned - lots of video coming! :-)
MAGIC, Frank!!! The whole process was magic! We planted Megan's garden today with some of my tomato plants. The nursery tomatoes were about 8" tall... mine were about 3 feet tall filled with flowers. LOL. I told her she will have tomatoes by Memorial Day. Hahahaha
Hi Wade - thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Yes, your statement is in-line with what I read online after I had this issue. The problem was, the loader was right up against the front of the trailer bed. However, there is a lot of room up front where I could have lowered the bucket between the truck and trailer bed and still had plenty of turning radius. You live and you learn, I guess. :-)
I can definitely do that with the larger backhoe I have, but the geometry of this little one is odd - as soon as I get the front tires up, the frame of the backhoe hits the ground and prevents the back tires from moving it forward. I've tried a few different ways to get it up there, and it just doesn't work well with that big equipment trailer.
Happy to see an update!
Hey… always happy to see yours as well. Stay tuned - lots of work being filmed! :-)
👍 I am looking forward to your summer activities.
Hey Nick - thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. LOTS of activities to come! LOL

was worried about you, welcome back, but then again who am I to talk look at how long my last vid was
Hahahaha, hey Mike - thanks for coming back to check out the new video. All is well, except the weather - but I think that's improving too. Stay tuned - lots of video coming! :-)
How did those plant flowers get pollinated? You got bees in your cellar? 😂

next time , move the load forward , to little hitch weight if I am not wrong

I load my backhoe all the time on a trailer even taller than yours without ramps it’s a backhoe use the bucket to lift yourself up
I can definitely do that with the larger backhoe I have, but the geometry of this little one is odd - as soon as I get the front tires up, the frame of the backhoe hits the ground and prevents the back tires from moving it forward.
