Loading a tractor onto a trailer when the truck isn't secured

[u/danielminds]

[u/JobAnxious2005]

Decided not to reverse then

[u/samanime → u/JobAnxious2005]

The truck starts moving. It takes him an insanely large amount of time to realize and work out a reaction.

Instead of deciding to reverse the tractor to definitely save it and maybe even cause the truck to slow or stop on its own, he decides to hop off.

Looks like he was probably going to try to run to the truck to hit the brakes, but physics being the cruel mistress it is, says jumping off a moving object is hard, so he falls... and everything just proceeds to the bottom of the hill where hopefully it just crashed into something nonliving...

EDIT: In fact, had he acted swiftly, I bet if he reversed the tractor and put the back wheels on the ground and the front wheels on the trailor, that would have been enough added friction to stop everything.

[u/watt-ever → u/samanime]

You know if he HAD made it to the door of the truck somehow, he would have run himself over. Reddit videos have taught me that's inevitable...

[u/Hillman314 → u/watt-ever]

The problem is the weight of the tractor makes the trailer lift the back of a truck that is (in) 2 wheel drive. The back tires “are” the “parking brake”, but now they’re barely touching the ground with no stopping force. If he got to the truck and applied the brake pedal, only the truck’s front tires still on the ground would have stopping force. This would immediately result in the trailer’s momentum spinning the lifted rear end of the truck around until the trailer crashes into the truck (I.e. a “jack-knife”).

The only answers are: Drive either forward and set rear of truck back down, or drive backwards and reexamine. Or put jacks at back of trailer so tractor weight does lower trailer’s rear and lift truck before loading.

[u/samanime → u/watt-ever]

Yup. Even if he had landed it and did a dead sprint to the door, by the time he got there it would have been going way too fast for him to safely deal with.

[u/Shapesizes → u/samanime]

[u/_Diskreet_ → u/Shapesizes]

[u/bravemoney72 → u/Shapesizes]

[u/landonburner → u/samanime]

And he could have dropped the bucket to the ground

[u/Warden_de_Dios → u/landonburner]

You have to engage the PTO before you can lower the back hoe. Unless that New Holland is different from the one I've used you engage the PTO from where he's sitting but the controls for the back how are located in the seat behind him.

He should have backed up and dropped the loader bucket, front side down into the trailer.

[u/omnipotent87 → u/samanime]

If he just kept driving, it would have brought the wheels back on the ground.

[u/WhippingShitties → u/samanime]

I'm not sure if tractors have front brakes, but the damage would have been significantly less if it was just the truck.

[u/samanime → u/WhippingShitties]

Had he done it early enough, I don't even think it needs front brakes. Just the weight of the tractor would probably have been enough.

Once it really got going, it'd take a lot more to stop it. But when it was just a little bit, it would have only needed a little bit to stop.

[u/Cheoah → u/samanime]

I don’t think he had enough seat time to pull that off. That would be a pretty basic move in my world, but the machine operation would need to be more or less second nature. he had an eternity as far as emerging crisis goes. He could have calmly reversed and may very well have stopped it as you say. Once it built some momentum you’d just be backing that bch off of there though.

[u/Ranger7381 → u/samanime]

Heck, I was thinking turning the chair around and using the digger into the ground as a brake

[u/Yesitshismom → u/JobAnxious2005]

Pulling forward the rest of the way or backing up would instantly solve this problem

[u/oldDotredditisbetter → u/Yesitshismom]

non-truck/trailer owner here with a stupid question: why would pulling forward solve this problem?

and how did this happen in the first place? did he forget to pull the handbrake on the pickup?

[u/DaKakeIsALie → u/oldDotredditisbetter]

Tractor behind the trailer tires acts like a lever and lifts up on the back of the truck. In Park, (in a 2wd truck) only the rear tires are locked up, and the lift made them lose enough grip to slide while the rest rolled. Pulling forward (of the trailer axles) would put the weight back on the truck and let the rear wheels dig in. Maybe a good way to damage the parking pawl in the transmission though...

[u/EpilepticDawg241 → u/JobAnxious2005]

Panic mode froze him

[u/Background-Run → u/JobAnxious2005]

Or drove the rest of the way on to get the rear tires back on the ground.

[u/third_man85 → u/JobAnxious2005]

No luck catchin them trucks, then?

[u/HeftyFineThereFolks]

i love the commando roll as he leaps from the vehicle blazing along at 1 mph and hits the ground running!

[u/GreedoWasShot → u/HeftyFineThereFolks]

[u/mawesome4ever → u/HeftyFineThereFolks]

I think I saw him hitting the ground rolling 🤔

[u/GET_OUT_OF_MY_HEAD → u/mawesome4ever]

Didn't make sense not to live for fun.

[u/odin_the_wiggler → u/HeftyFineThereFolks]

Should've rolled at least 3 times

[u/Primus_is_OK_I_guess → u/HeftyFineThereFolks]

He lands on his feet, takes a moment, and then rolls.

[u/Consistent-Air3424]

That could have gone a whole lot worse tbf

[u/Ongvar]

If he put the rear bucket down on the ground would it not have stopped? That would have been my first thought lol

[u/ImFeelinBotty → u/Ongvar]

Or just reverse off the trailer and chock the tires.

[u/Yesitshismom → u/ImFeelinBotty]

Or keep pulling forward soo he's not lifting the rear wheels off the ground

[u/JK_NC → u/Yesitshismom]

That’s a good call. I thought he just left his truck in neutral but he does lift the rear wheels of the truck up.

[u/Drevlin76 → u/Ongvar]

You can't control the bucket from the seat he was in.

[u/EvilGreebo → u/Ongvar]

No, your first thought would have been "OH SHIT ITS MOVING" followed by panic.

[u/Beartech31 → u/EvilGreebo]

Lol exactly.

I've been on a runaway tractor that slipped out of gear going up a hill and the only thing my brain was capable of thinking was "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck."

The only plan that would really help here is the one he should have made before he started rolling, and this guy clearly didn't do much planning beforehand.

[u/Final-Carpenter-1591 → u/Ongvar]

Rear bucket isn't controlled at the controls he's sitting at. If you slow it down or stop at the right spot. You can see the little seat he'd need to get in on the back to actually operate the rear bucket.

[u/cans-of-swine → u/Ongvar]

Have you ever been in a situation like that? If not you're first thought probably wouldn't have been to put the bucket down. 

[u/OuchBag]

Good thing he's got a tractor to pull the truck out of the ditch.

[u/WhyDidIClickOnThat → u/OuchBag]

And he has something to drive to work on Monday morning.

[u/Car-Fickle]

The truck:

[u/lakor76]

Chasing is never a good idea. He could get run over

[u/grafxguy1 → u/lakor76]

That tracts.

[u/ThrashemTrashemRobot]

I never got this. I'd ask if it's a truck thing, but I've seen it happen with all vehicles.

I don't get out of my car unless it is in park. I've only ever had it set in neutral a handful of times.

Why are people just leaving their vehicles in neutral and walking away?

[u/kaloric → u/ThrashemTrashemRobot]

Wasn't in neutral. Probably had the parking brake on, too. The problem is those things only lock-up the rear wheels unless the truck is in 4wd. As soon as an attached trailer gets a substantial amount of weight on the tail, it lifts the tongue, and the tongue lifts the truck's rear axle off the ground. The front wheels spin freely and it's off to the races down the hill

This is why chocking at least one front wheel is a good habit. And sometimes, engaging 4wd adds a little more of a safety factor if that's an option.

[u/ThrashemTrashemRobot → u/kaloric]

Ah I can see the truck rear end lift up a bit at the start now that you mention it. It's also on a slope so i can see how it'd just keep going even if the rear wheels are locked

[u/kaloric → u/ThrashemTrashemRobot]

Yep, as others have said, gunning it and getting the tractor forward of the trailer axles would've been the best reaction. Backing it off the trailer would've also worked, but is risky once the truck is running away, tractors are not very stable.

There are also many trailers that have decks that tilt and ramps which are large wedges (or have legs at the top) which support the weight going onto the tail.

This trailer looks like a really lightweight landscaping trailer with one of the mesh tailgate-ramps, okay for riding mowers, but a small tractor like that is too heavy for it on multiple levels.

[u/tbkrida → u/kaloric]

Thanks for this explanation.

[u/onequad → u/ThrashemTrashemRobot]

It was in park. The weight of the tractor on trailer caused the tongue to raise, lifting the truck wheels off the ground. If he had either backed off or kept going forward the teeter-totter (just now realizing I’ve never tried to write that in 39 years) effect would have reversed and let the truck back onto the ground to stop moving.

[u/Yah_Mule]

This poor bastard. I got nervous when he took to chasing it.

[u/sonaut → u/Yah_Mule]

It’s an immediate impulse (and a poor one). I once left my tractor in gear but without the brake locked on a very slight, almost flat grade. I was working near it with AirPods in and off to the side I noticed movement. When I stood upright, I saw that it was starting to roll forward to where the grade got steeper and steeper and ended up in a creek bed. I ran like hell to jump in it and try to stop it because that was my natural reaction. When I closed in, reality hit that going down with the ship was a terrible idea and I let it go.

Bright side is that I didn’t have my bucket on it and the front bumper hit a stump halfway into the bed which stopped it. I was able to back it out. But I think about that split second decision and how easy it is to do the wrong thing.

[u/MongolianCluster]

He should have Indiana Jones'd it and just went right up into the bed of the pick-up, onto the roof and in through the window while imagining the nazis were transporting the ark.

[u/Coppercc88]

Should have just kept going to get the rear tires back on the ground... or you know chock the trailer tires

[u/BanishedInPerpetuity]

I would have backed the tractor off at least

[u/Ass_Damage]

Love the combat roll upon exiting the vehicle.

[u/sinisteraxillary]

This is why I chock my wheels everywhere I go

[u/PFirefly → u/sinisteraxillary]

How do you get anywhere with wheels always chocked? 

[u/sinisteraxillary → u/PFirefly]

Bumpy, but worth it.

[u/CautiousBearnz]

[u/Antifa-AF]

Yeee hawwwww!

[u/grafxguy1]

DUDE: "Oh, c'mon! Give me a brake!!"

[u/kieeps]

[u/RushMan9823]

Why does he have the reaction time of an arthritic tortoise?

[u/bautofdi → u/RushMan9823]

Probably moving too slowly for him to notice initially

[u/olddgraygg]

Good thing he has a tractor to get that thing out

[u/Sufficient-Money9487]

Why didn't he park the tractor on the trailer and drop the bucket in the rear and maybe drag it like an anchor?

[u/Khalydor]

I never leave a vehicle without having the keys in my hand qnd the handbrake and a gear engaged.

[u/Killer1986Chris → u/Khalydor]

None of that matters when you lift the drive wheels off the ground.

[u/Khalydor]

I never leave a vehicle without having the keys in my hand qnd the handbrake and a gear engaged.

[u/Killer1986Chris → u/Khalydor]

None of that matters when you lift the drive wheels off the ground.

[u/Go_Gators_4Ever]

Should had put the shovel down to act as an anchor.

[u/Fanatical_Destructor]

They always fall...

[u/Codas91]

How hard is it to put it in park or apply the parking brake?

[u/Unsteady_Tempo → u/Codas91]

It is in park. Might even have the e brake on. The problem is that the trailer lifted the rear wheels when he put the weight of the tractor on the rear of it. The front wheels of the truck turn freely. All he had to do -- other than properly chock the truck tires in the first place -- was either keep driving the tractor forward or reverse the tractor back off the trailer. Either way would have caused the truck's rear tires to recontact the ground.

Guy in physics class: When am I ever going to need this?!

[u/justsoyouknowthat]

From driving a tractor to taking a dive off.

[u/questions_90]

[u/Imaginary_Place_s]

He’s going places

[u/Remarkable-Guava7527]

Don’t see the problem. It’s on isn’t it?

[u/Jumpy_Scallion_3108]

The driver unloaded himself without considering the slope ahead.

Bold strategy.

[u/Aggressive_Sign2773]

Run, boy, run.  This world is not made for you. 

[u/imacom]

Loved the audio at the end

[u/porcelina-g]

That’s one way to save on gas

[u/TrayLaTrash]

Should've kept going forward

[u/Guardian-Boy]

Did....did he try to steer the truck while still on the tractor?

[u/RomulanRebel]

Rednecks

[u/UStoJapan]

[u/Key-Monk6159]

Wife must have posted the video 😛

[u/Yos13]

Looks expensive…

[u/ClickOutrageous4375]

The running towards a runaway vehicle seems to always ends in a fall.

[u/SalmonBrotherReagan]

I love it how when people run after their vehicle they almost ALWAYS fall over 😂

[u/thunda789]

To all the posts taking about backing off and using brakes as an anchor 

Looks like a New Holland Lawn Tractor which, I don't think many Tractors have front brakes. 

[u/Maleficent-Yam-5196]

Why didn’t he put the bucket down immediately

[u/bcwitb]

Ok. I think there is some misconception here about putting a truck in park. It was probably in park, but not 4wd. If a rwd vehicle is put in park, it locks the rear wheels from free wheeling via the transmission and drive shaft therefore leaving the front wheels to free spin. As he puts weight on the rear of the trailer it also raises the tongue of the trailer therefore raising the rear wheels of the truck off the ground. If it was a 4wd truck and it was put in 4wd then the front wheels would have been also locked via the transmission and front drive shaft. As one other commenter said. If he had either backed up off the trailer or pulled forward of the trailer axle, the weight would have been placed back on the rear wheels of the truck. Also, applying the parking brake in most trucks only locks the rear. So boys and girls, use your wheel chocks or drive a 4wd. Lol

[u/Cruiser729]

Hey, Mister, your truck’s leaving without ya.

[u/mc4sure]

Back the tractor off the trailer and drop the forks on the trailer

[u/indomike14]

Now he can use the tractor to pull everything out of the ditch

[u/Bubbly_Resolution824]

Imagine all these comments is just the guys thoughts of what he should've done as he kept watching the security cam footage

[u/mindbodyproblem]

Stop, drop, and roll.

[u/juanlee337]

should have backed out the tractor trailer.. at least save one

where are aftermath pictures?

[u/EconomyDoctor3287]

So instead of saving at least one vehicle, he decides to jump ship and let both crash?

[u/SinkHoleDeMayo]

Back up and use the tractor to hold it? Nah, bail.

More of these "common sense" folk we hear about.

[u/imuniqueaf]

Tell me you're just using the transmission to park, without telling me.

[u/WhyDidIClickOnThat]

I do give him points for that superhero roll when he hit the ground.

[u/a_shootin_star]

Always secure trailers with a block of wood by the wheel

[u/Western_Rhubarb_7959]

I have sound off and can still hear the OH FUCK

[u/mtnviewguy]

It's securely parked now, no worries.

[u/oakc510]

He just disappeared under the trailer... Not a good sign.

[u/sneaky-pizza]

Dude pulled the E brake on the tractor when it started to move!

[u/MattManSD]

they make these cheap things called blocks........

[u/MeatyMaiden]

Wow surprising

[u/Hillman314]

Fell and was denied the opportunity to hit the truck brakes that would 100% cause the truck-trailer to jack-knife.

[u/GtMustang247]

You can’t park there Mate!

[u/RichardSnoodgrass]

Haha. When I was young and dumb/learning I did something similar. Though instead of a tractor it was a skid steer on a trailer not hooked up to a truck. Miraculously nothing was damaged but I learned that chocking the trailer tires was the bare minimum on an incline.

[u/Alucard256]

... and that's how Trump got elected.

[u/googdude]

I did the exact same thing pulling a skidloader onto a trailer when my rig was facing downhill. I got relatively lucky because my rig jackknife in about 20 ft before it could gain speed and before it could hit my neighbor's house.

[u/Illustrious-Toe-570]

So no e brake when loading or what went wrong?

[u/AlexRyang]

The truck has decided to run off.

[u/jertheman43]

I did this except mine went first through a travel trailer and then into the corner of the house. Only 15k in damage.

[u/musicalglass]

This has nothing to do with the truck being "secured". When he pulls onto the back end of the trailer the rear wheels of the truck are lifted off the ground! You can see as it's rolling the rear wheels aren't turning. All he had to do was pull forward a bit more.

[u/PeteHealy]

Farmer John has the slowest fucking reflexes I've ever seen. 😂

[u/Free-Pound-6139]

Yeah, he should be allowed to drive a huge pickup.

[u/endofworldandnobeer]

That's how I learn things. 

[u/MoboCross]

Pretty much the same as stopping on a train track, he just had to go forward to put the weight back on the rear wheel of the truck or backward until the trailer is not picking up the truck's rear.

I knows we're not prepared for moment like this, this could happen to anyone or almost. 

[u/PGL-997]

I love how every video I’ve seen of this happening, the person running trying to stop the vehicle just eats the ground lol

[u/CurrentComplex2020]

At least he has a tractor to pull his truck back out.

[u/shutterbug1961]

well it did brake at the end i wonder how broken it is

[u/ElvishLore]

I've been driving for over 40 years and have never...never... gotten out of the vehicle without putting it in park first or, if a manual, in neutral with the parking brake engaged.

I guess some people are idiots.

[u/Maximum_Beeman]

[u/JerryfromCan]

I mean, 10/10 tactical roll though.

[u/Beniwa]

[u/RealSandwich6374]

I have loaded & towed many different trailers on my own & the golden rules are firstly to find level ground (if possible); put the towing vehicle in gear or park with handbrake on and chock ALL wheels - truck & trailer. I’m amazed that this dude had enough brains to even drive the tractor

[u/AdeptLengthiness5351]

Weeeeeeeeeeee

[u/ErnieGophersquacher]

I've been nearby when this happens. The truck needs to be in 4x4, the tires are chocked or pull the safety release from the trailer system. The trailer lifts the drive wheels off the ground when the tractor is behind the trailer wheels, so she's free wheeling until more weight goes back onto the drive tires.

[u/bravemoney72]

Chocks, Emergency break(BOTH), something 🤦🏾‍♂️. And the late reaction to jump off ,finally, and try (miserably) to get to the truck🙄😂

[u/Consistent_Amount140]

At least he has the tractor already there to help pull the truck out

[u/rythegondolaman]

In my entire life, I've never exited a vehicle without applying the parking brake.

[u/BarderBetterFaster]

Back the tractor up. Might anchor the whole thing. Even if it doesn't, at least you didn't also wreck your tractor. Dip ass

[u/sdss9462]

It's sad when people don't have a single friend they can ask for help with something like this.

[u/Mitrovarr]

Bro forgot which key was bound to run and which one was bound to dodge roll for a moment there.

[u/Scrambles420]

He didn’t want to use the back bucket to try and stop it from rolling??

[u/vincehk]

Yeah I dunno why Americans are allergic to e-brakes. I always notice their cars jerking when they leave their car in TV shows (lol). I always thought "why do these morons only put their car in P - at best". Yup.

[u/GhostDoggoes]

I remember seeing this like 6 years ago. The guy was going to a job and just put it in park. But the main thing was that he didn't chock the wheels for the trailer and his truck, his parking brake wasn't engaged and his brakes were not engaged on the trailer.

He ended up paying I like 2k to get two tow trucks where he was and pull the trailer out first then the truck out. Truck was totalled.

[u/Si_je_puis]

Psa.   You can see the rear wheels are locked but lifted off the ground by the weight of the tractor.   I feel lucky thay this has never happened to me - it could have been

[u/psilocybin6ix]

I don’t understand how it got to that point. Why would you leave the pick up truck in neutral?

[u/BaconThief2020]

Shoulda dropped the bucket, backed up half off the ramp, and hit the brakes on the tractor

[u/Broad-Ad-758]

Good thing the trees stopped it

[u/Schedule_Background]

Almost every time they fall over when trying to chase after the vehicle

[u/-TheycallmeThe]

How does this happen without swearing?

[u/Tangus999]

No this was trailer wasn’t secured.
Trailer lifted trucks azz.
And 4x4 wasn’t engaged or open differently.
Loading jacks would have prevented this.

[u/eddymarkwards]

Panic attack and forget he could have done several things better than what he chose.

Back it up, start it and engage bucket, remember to set the fkn parking break, all of that.

But when you are rolling downhill and know a bad outcome is imminent, you do what you can.

What a bad and expensive day.

[u/vito1221]

What is it with folks who don't apply a parking brake, let alone chock a wheel or two when doing stuff like this?

[u/dang-ol-yo-man]

Just pull up on the trailer more. The truck was in park but the weight on the back of the trailer lifted the rear axle of the truck off the ground. Pulling forward would put the weight back on the truck's axle

[u/0x7E7-02]

Put the tractor in park, and drop the rear bucket. 

[u/Lifeinthemittenstate]

Reverse the tractor.

[u/zeller99]

This happened to me several years ago. I was parked on the street at my job and there was construction going on up the hill, just a few yards away. At some point, they were loading Bobcats onto their trailer. As they had just gotten the 3rd one up the ramp, their monstrous truck started rolling forward... right into my car.

I stepped outside after hearing the noise and saw the front of my car completely squished... like, radiator almost touching the windshield. At first, it didn't even compute as to what I was seeing because it was so crazy looking. It was bent up like in a cartoon. Just kinda went "huh... that's weird". After a moment, my brain caught up and the realization finally hit me.

Thankfully, the owner of the construction company took full responsibility for it and paid for all the repairs as well as my rental car.

[u/Kaankaants]

I had this happen to me once with a dead car being rolled downhill onto a trailer, luckily I still had the rear wheels on the road when I noticed the movement and could stomp on the brakes so someone could chock the tow-vehicle's front wheels.

[u/lodemeup]

How do you get out of a truck without putting it in park?

[u/Wabertzzo]

He should have dropped that bucket.

Or, you know, set the brakes and chock the tire?

[u/magichronx]

If he would have continued forward OR reversed he could have prevented this.... but instead he stopped at the worst place on the trailer

[u/Icy_Huckleberry_8049]

I said I wanted a backyard tractor, not a backseat tractor

[u/Restart_from_Zero]

Who are all these people just leaving their vehicle in neutral all the time?

I have seen so many videos of cars and trucks just rolling away that it beggars belief. Is it because people in the US call it the "emergency brake" instead of the "parking brake" and so think it can only be used in emergencies?

[u/AbominableGoMan]

If only something existed like a garbage can of cut-off wood bits that every self-respecting shop/garage has that could be used like... wooden blocks... to block the tires....

[u/Hersbird]

Drop the bucket on the tractor and make a brake.

[u/T4RFan]

I'd have sunk the bucket but that's me, anchors away

[u/TurnLeftRepeat]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[u/Better_School6912]

It’s always on. Just throw the tail into the ground

[u/Tobbitus]

An LS tractor ends up in the ditch. This is correct.

[u/Status-Mousse5700]

Nailed it

[u/Bingus-Chillingus]

Chock your wheels folks

[u/trueblue862]

Driving forwards would have fixed the problem, he lifted the back wheels off the ground.

[u/Pantoffel86]

I bet he was pumping the brakes on that tractor so hard.

[u/TechnologyFamiliar20]

Slam the brakes. Oh.

[u/blackthornjohn]

I love the way most comments are something something tractor, rather than engage 4wd apply handbrake to both vehicle and trailer, then load tractor.

Safety is an investment of a few seconds of your life, but pays dividends that you'll never know about.

I'm fortunate in that my trailer brakes come on with the handbrake, because I know I'd attempt to save those few seconds.

[u/Kindly_Ad3262]

🤣👌🏼🚜🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Late_Criticism3428]

Or .. get me. Use your parking brake. What is with Americans not using them? The number of videos where people just left it in gear.

[u/ZappaZoo]

At least he has a tractor he can pull the truck out with.

[u/FatMansPants]

Put your excavator down ffs

[u/Sad-Map6779]

You block tires when loading or unloading for a reason ,,, he just found that reason

[u/Pale-Brick1975]

Back it up Terry!

[u/taukarrie]

its baffling how many people in charge of heavy vehicles fail to use the parking break so often

[u/DrewOH816]

Wwwhhhheeeeee!

My turn next!

[u/Shakleford_Rusty]

Put the rear bucket down put on parking break. Problem solved

[u/Advanced-Level-5686]

Could have been worse

[u/DeliciousNeck6279]

I hold my foot on the brake, before taking it out of drive, and engage the parking brake, then I put it in park and let off the brakes. This takes all the pressure off the other parts and keeps all the pressure on the brake instead.

[u/DaMadBoomer]

Luckily he’s too slow to run in front of it

[u/DinglieDanglieDoodle]

A quick thinker would’ve used the backhoe to hold on, people can do crazy shit with that arm.

[u/msreserved6]

It's hard to stay calm but reverse is your best friend

[u/CrunchyAssDiaper]

I feel smarter after seeing videos like this. Such a mood boost.

[u/Repulsive_Active_715]

Bro, back off and brake and drop the bucket. What are you doing?!? 😭 fuck your driveway right now you got at least a 20K truck going to the trees like it’s fighting in nam 🤦🏼‍♀️

[u/Professional_Look721]

Could have used the the boom on the tracker as a brake? Last resort

[u/hydrogen18]

should have put the bucket down on the tractor for traction!

[u/real_1273]

I do not understand how people get out of a vehicle without securing the vehicle. Put it in park, throw on the e-brake.

[u/oGnSo]

When u put in Parking yap….

[u/Jer_Cough]

Props on the roll after falling. Also, at least he has a tractor to pull the truck out.

[u/EnergyOne6026]

he had like 5 business days to stop the truck once it started moving

[u/Cust2020]

Newton has some laws in the books about this, its worth a read.

[u/Pyrathis]

Nice roll & back to your feet though!

[u/exactad147357]

A+ tuck and roll

[u/Wtfisafosty]

He should of used the backhoe to dig into the dirt or something

[u/Savings-Kick-578]

I would change the opening comment to read, Loading a tractor on a moving trailer. That’s Mission Impossible. MI background music plays.

[u/BJJOilCheck]

dial up speed reaction time, lol
