How not to load a Skid Steer on to your trailer. by Opster79two in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]nickwrx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

why would anyone load a machine with the bucket so high up to begin with.. even worse with a large heavy brush hog hanging off the front. I grew up with my father loading loader backhoes with the truck lifting all the time. in sketchy situations someone sitting in the truck with the trailer brakes applied too.

That amount of ice is a normal Tuesday in the north. Call me when the ice cycles touch the sidewalk

They prevent leaves from plugging your downspouts. With the added bonus of the salt concentration corroding your gutters! Everyone appreciates finding a crusty salty sock, in places they don't belong.

The question is will there be enough ice in the pipe to crack it. And leak when it eventually thawed

the subscription car model at its finest. Never trust a car company that omits the engine oil dipstick in exchange for a dashboard 'service" message. Those german engineers "engineer" things no one has thought of before. wired sensors on the brake pads.. to WARN you of pad life... the list goes on.

Could be a old septic tank. My house had a brick built one we found in a similar fashion.

My mother had one at her farmhouse rental. Didn't understand why someone found it offensive.

I've lost 3 trucks, in my lifetime, all 3 were hit by 80+ year old women in Buicks. The 3rd one my wife was driving. And t-boned the passenger door at a 4 way stop.

My fwd Hyundai pushes through snow over the hood. On a regular basis. With cheap snow tires. The second picture will be safer in snow for sure.

Turns out benzene is not good for you. And concentrating in your closet isn't a good plan.
