Check out Tiger Tough seat covers here!! Thanks for watching!

Might want to look into jacks for the back of your trailer. Trying to keep it from lifting your truck. Maybe will help for the next time. We all have those mistakes.
Yep I’ll be adding some for sure!
Definitely get some jacks on the back of the trailer, also wheel chalks on the rear axle of the trailer would help too
The door can be fixed. Glad nobody got hurt.
Your buddy Joe is strong as hell
That he is!
Thanks for the shoutout and killer job on the install! The Kubota looks great and if anything slipped out on the ride down the hill, you can just throw that new seat cover in the washing machine. 😂
I go to great lengths to ensure I make the best promotional ads for my sponsors possible. Even if it means crashing my truck, ruining a customers lawn, breaking my trailer, and 💩 my pants. You guys make a great product, looking forward to working together again in the future!
@@DudeRanchDIY Your commitment is unsurpassed! 😎
$50 ‘weld-on trailer stabiliser legs’ off eBay is the answer. You don’t need to always have it park it flat. You just need to keep the rear tyres planted
Yep, those and wheel chocks!
Hang in there. Your young great cheap lesson. Helping others always will repay you.
Glad everyone's alright! Only way to learn is through making mistakes, so at least there's one little bright spot.
That’s for sure, I’m hoping it maybe helps someone prevent themselves from making the same mistake I did!
Glad no one got hurt! Look at the bright side it made a cool video. Hopefully it goes viral! The mini x is definitely a sweet tool. Having loaded some heavy machines in the past I definitely recommend adding some telescoping jacks at the back of the trailer.
Close one Jake…..glad it was just the door. We all at one time or another had our awaking moment when something went really wrong. Your health is more important than any piece of equipment or car damage. Best regards
Thanks Juan, I got some wheel chocks and learned a valuable lesson!
Glad you didn’t get hurt and you have a good attitude about the whole ordeal
Thank God you and everyone were ok. Scary. Like you said, a learning experience. Thank you for being honest about it, someone will benefit from your incident and avoid a similar experience. Good video and great job 👍
That’s what I was hoping for! Thanks for watching
I’m guessing you tested the new seat cover im sure you were puckered
lol seat cover preformed flawlessly
So sorry about your truck. Thanks for sharing - I can only imagine the frustration. You certainly prevented someone, maybe me, from making that mistake in the future.
Yep shit happens, I wanted to share to hopefully spare someone else the frustration!
I have experienced that EXACT problem unloading a Mini-X. And, yes, it was on a hill!
Another solution is the stabilizer legs on the trailer ramp(s). They keep the trailer from squatting, which is what lifts the back end of the truck.
My buddy has the stabilizer legs on his equipment trailer, such a difference.
Sorry for the damage you incurred, when it happened to me, we recovered, no damage. But, the truck was headed straight for the customer's garage!!!!!
Thanks for sharing, it just might help keep someone else from suffering that same fate.
Yep I have the legs on my dump trailer but not on this one, will have to look into getting a set mounted up!
Damn sorry that happened…..glad you’re safe…
Thanks buddy, all is well.
I try to unload / load on level ground. I haven’t needed to chalk the tires, but my day is coming if I don’t change my ways.
Might be worth chocking before it’s too late!
Jake, I have seen this happen many times, two small of a truck and no four wheel drive. Even on level ground it can happen on an snow covered road 👍🏼🇺🇸
Yep I got some wheel chocks already!
Even just pieces of 2x under the back of the trailer will prevent the trailer from lifting the rear end of the truck.
Holy crap.. good thing you got that new seat cover.. just pull it out and rince it off...😂😂.. on a serious note your equipment should have a pair of Jack's.. if not you may want to look into installing a pair.. glad everyone is good
lol yeah jacks would be nice, I already got some chocks for it and will be putting the truck into 4wd in the future.
@DudeRanchDIY all you need are jack stands at the back of your trailer.. I'm surprised it doesn't already have.. if you can't lower the back of the trailer it can't lift the tounge up.. golden rule is flat level surface.. if not put someone in the truck standing on the brakes..
Just order the seat cover- having them put our logo on. Have a new mini - that’s rented out. Cheaper than a new seat and excited to see the logo.
Nice! You’ll like it!
tilt deck trailer is the way to go brother that looked scary AF glad everyone is ok
I’d love a tilt deck at some point
That’s one scary ride. No wonder you were shaken mate! End result wasn’t too bad though. Big learnings made there👍
For sure! Could’ve been worse!
My trailer does this too when I load my 6,000 tractor in my dump trailer on a hill. 2 options. Either put jack stands under the rear of the trailer to keep it from dropping. Or like I do. Just get on and off quickly. Easier to do with a tractor than an excavator since the travel speed is faster. I usually get past that tipping point quickly where the trailer and truck only skid about a foot before I get positive tongue weight back on the truck.
Yeah tractor would be a little easier, I got wheel chocks and going to be welding on some jacks, I don’t want to skid at all, once was enough haha
Guess you think you're a surfer dude now, as that was a hell of a wave to ride?!?! Not they type of accident you want, for sure, but glad it wasn't worse. Lessons learned are always the best in the end, as it makes you who you are and what you are capable of doing in the future! I know it was probably a day or two ago, but enjoy your cocktail of choice tonight to get over it all!! 😊
A rough day granted, pride a little bruised but ok, hinged legs on rear of trailer, park break applied on trailer & double curved wheel chock each side in-between tandems of trailer to stop any chance of run away even if truck did get lifted again , were here to help bud , good luck keep up the good work .
Yep all in all it could’ve been a lot worse!
I appreciate you sharing the lessons learned. I think you are correct with the text that came to on the screen.... If you had it in 4wd that may have held it in place. (Just make sure it's really in 4wd, as in drive in 4wd a few feet before parking).
If in 4wd and chocks either in front of the trailer tires or front tires on the truck would have held it
Yep that may have helped, Joe standing on the brakes could’ve helped, hindsight’s 20/20! 😂
I bought some pallet racking from those guys, that I use as *pigpens* for my firewood. Sturdy, and gives lots of ventilation. You’re practically in my backyard!
They had a nice operation going there, pleasure to deal with!
You are a lucky man. You can get a set of jack stands for the back of your trailer. I have done much worse. Just glad nobody was hurt. Have a great day.
Yep that’s the plan! Thanks for watching!
Jacks or blocks under the tail end of the trailer.. Wheel chocks, all tires, every time, flat or grade.
Yep I learned my lesson, already got the chocks and jacks will be welded on in the near future!
Jake, I almost did the same thing the first time I loaded my Mini Ex on a trailer.... I picked up some jacks that fold up quickly and welded them on the back of the trailer for heavy loading and unloading... problem solved.... Glad it wasn't any worse
Yep, I have some drop down legs on my dump trailer, need some for this trailer as well!
Hey Jake awesome video fence looks amazing. U should have ur buddy welder Chris weld u some legs/feet whatever u wanna call them on the back of ur ramps or mayb get some trailer jack stands the ones u can flip out of the way to block the rear so u can’t pick the rest end of ur truck off the ground thanks for sharing even the not so good moments god bless
Thanks Adam I think that’s what I’m going to do!
That’s rough buddy, at the end of the day it was an accident and no one got hurt. But as the viewer we can tell it listening to your voice you were shook up
Get some weld on rear jacks for the trailer. It will keep the trailer from dropping and lifting the truck. I’m pretty sure there were more skid marks than what you showed. 💩 💩 💩 😊
Ahaha yep I’ll be adding some jacks!
It's fine! Lots of trucks look like that, here in the Adirondacks 😅 Live and learn brother, throw some blocks of wood under the tail of the trailer. It'll compress under the weight and hold in place
lol got it all fixed up and picking up today, my ocd can’t leave it damaged even if my wallet wants to!
Next up on Dude Ranch DIY, door replacement on a ford.
Thankful it wasn't worse man, Joe's back yard is gonna look great once he gets everything done.
Oh and lol haha, as I'm about to hit send this, you're getting a used door!!! Nice 💪
Haha door is fixed picking up today! His backyard is shaping up nicely!
Hey around 7:40 into the video too much backend of excavator . Just try to help
hi there very sad best of luck , john
Sucks that you had that miss fortune. Would a pair of jack stands at rear of trailer helped to keep truck tires on the ground?
Yep, going to be adding them!
Buy or make wheel chocks. I made my own and they work good. Have a great day be safe
Yep I got a set of 4 off Amazon that same day!
If this ever happens again just keep the machine moving in the direction you were going, it's when people freeze is when the big problem happens. If you had kept going out would of only skid a few feet and then stopped... if you ain't breaking things you ain't making things
I definitely agree however once the truck hit the grass I think it was going no matter what. There were also two stone columns there that added to the complexity of the situation!
boy you got a hairy ride. i respect your telling of this mishap. God only knows who you may have saved now that they saw this. please remember, never chase or try to stop a run-away. also with big equipment. keep small children from the job site, there is no reason for them to be there until they are old enough to comprehend what they are witnessing and can watch out for themselves. above all, don,t blame yourself, you didn't and couldn't see this coming.
That was my intention for this video, as much as it’s embarrassing to show I figured it could help someone down the road! Thanks for watching
Jake, look at the bright side.....NO ONE GOT INJURED!!! Stuff happens!! Trucks can be fixed easier than your body!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
For sure! Picking up the fixed truck today!
Glad no one got hurt but if you ever have a run away again get on or off the trailer panicking and sitting on the end of the trailer is what causes it to keep going.
Yep by the time I realized what was going on it was too late!
@@DudeRanchDIY glad it worked out you haul enough equipment you’ll run into that everyone that’s any good has a few stories like that
Don't feel too bad. My last boss who was around machinery all his life did the same thing unloading a crawler loader off a trailer behind a dump truck. He set the truck brakes but not the trailer brakes. He was on a big open lot so not as bad but said it felt weird to have the trailer moving wile he was on the loader backing off the trailer.
Yep shit happens! Just gotta learn from our mistakes!
@@DudeRanchDIY We are all human and nobody is perfect.😁
To bad about the door could been lot worst. I done same thing 100 of times. I going to be putting set wheel calks in my truck.
where did you get them dopey sun glasses

Stuff happens. Ask me how I know. I have trail jacks in the rear. It will be OK. Lesson learned.
Yep always learning!
Ah that sucks. One of my roofing crews filled a dump trailer in a customers driveway that wasn't hooked to a truck or blocked and one of the guys surfed it all the way into the street! I took it to the landfill to dump and the latch was up and I punched it through my tailgate!
Yikes! Runaway trailer is scary as well!
Could have kicked the truck into 4WD. Or maybe install telescoping jacks at the back of the trailer.
My skid marks would have been in my underwear! Glad no one got hurt. On a better note, you can now sell me your old tattered seared truck and now you can get something better 😬
lol truck is fixed and picking it back up today!
Hey at least you learned and your not too proud to share your mistake for others to benefit. Says a lot about the kind of person you are. Mad respect. I learned myself to chalk my truck and trailer tires even on flat ground. I have an 11,000 pound dozer, so a small one but 11,000 pounds is nothing to take lightly. I tried loading it on a 24 ft gooseneck attached to my truck which is a 9,000 pound f-350 cab and chassis dually with a 12 ft flatbed. So we’re talking a lot of weight just in truck and trailer. Shoot!!! I tried loading my dozer for the first time, on flat ground, and what ever direction my tracks moved, it moved my entire truck and trailer the opposite direction even though my brakes were engaged. And when I tried reversing the track direction to stop the truck and trailer from moving, it just made everything move the other direction even stronger. I just had to stop everything, get out and chalk up. So yes you are correct in finding a flat spot to load and unload, but that machine is probably in the 8,500-9,000 pound range and tracked as well. Those tracks can really move the deck beneath you. So chalk up no matter what. I’ll second what another commenter said too. Weld you some jacks on the rear of your trailer or use some Jack stands when loading or unloading that beast. Beautiful machine by the way. I’m getting ready to order an 8,500 lb Kymron excavator. I can’t afford a Kubota on an E-6/TSgt salary and I can only work my side business on the weekends. But hey, 4 ton, enclosed cab, A/C, hydraulic thumb, angle blade, Kubota engine, Eaton and Parker pumps and drives compatible, 2 year warranty for $43,200. Can’t beat it man. Take care man. Great videos. Just subscribed.
Thanks for watching! Figure if someone else can learn from my mistake then it softens the blow a bit! Kamron makes a good machine, I’ve talked to the owner prior to buying my excavator.
If you ain't learning you ain't living.
Amen
Yea i had a trailer run away on me before gouged up a freshly powder coated rim 🫤 wheel chocks are our friends
Ordered a set of chocks for the trailer that day!
Even just pieces of 2x under the back of the trailer will prevent the trailer from lifting the rear end of the truck.
Simple and easy solution!
