Many people have no idea how to recover from such a situation. Yes floor it and trailer brakes if you have them. Of not floor it and when straight coast.
Tried explaining tongue weight to a guy that just got a camper. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what antisway load distribution stuff you buy. You can't pull without proper tongue weight
Congratulations Sam! I'm glad mother and baby are doing well. Those clips at the beginning of the video are why I prefer 5th wheels as far as travel trailers go. Plus people forget the rake of the trailer and the tow vehicle. I also prefer goosenecks over bumper pulls however that's not always an option. Airbags make a huge difference also. I'll never tow without them again.
Congratulations on your newborn! Holy crap the first few min are EPIC!!!!! Great Vid man!! As a crane operator with a CDL this is priceless advice and instruction!
Yes sir. Ive been hauling our newhollands around loaded forwards for 31 years. Thats the way grandpa and my dad taught me. Like watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
One thing I always watched for when loading the skidsteer facing forward, even one the smaller trailers we had was to see the actual weight transfer as the balance transferred from the tail over the trailer axles and then onto the hitch. As long as you see that transfer and still have room ahead of you then you don’t need to load the machine backwards.
In my nick of the woods everyone loads skidsteers forward. Didn't even know there was controversy about it. Yes just drive forward until the weight transfers.
Congratulations on the baby . Some of what those rv trailer people don't think about is the cross winds that come off us commercial trucks when they have taken all the fresh water out of the tanks which are in the front and now have grey water in the rear little cross wind on the tail and away they go
Congratulations Sam on the little guy! I hope Taylor and he are doing ok, my little guy is 22 now and yes the times fly! Take time to learn your new as Dad...it is new a and great experience.
Congrats daddy! Being a dad is awesome. We had a pallet pusher at my last job just for that reason. When I loaded someone I asked where they wanted it and made sure they had tongue weight.
Congrats on your son! Happy for you both and I am sure your dad is stoked to be a grandpa! I have never had a problem with your loading placement. You are far wiser than your age Sam.
Loved the forklift operator story at the end. As a former semi-truck flatbed driver and current gooseneck flatbed owner, I can definitely relate. Most forklift drivers are not truck operators. I say operators and not drivers because there’s a HUGE difference. Most forklift drivers only want you out the gate so they can go home or go on break and never give your safety or anyone else’s a second thought.
Man or man I love that party mode truck😎🤘🏼Nice video about tongue weight and properly loading and congratulations to you and Taylor on your new baby boy!!!
Congrats on the baby! I also haul a TL12 facing forward. Sometimes with a bucket other times with a rock picker. With a 24 foot bumper pull trailer it goes on far enough to get ample tongue weight. Who wants to mess with loading a machine with a turbo backwards and having to tape up the exhaust anyways.
Congratulations you guys and welcome Callahan. Your videos are always informative and entertaining😂, that last camper with two loose propane tanks flopping around was cringe worthy😳🙄. Thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
One advantage to loading the rear first even with a attachment on the front is road debri, salt, snow, rain etc won’t be entering the cab, garfing up the interior of the cab. Love your videos!!
All good information. Had a very near identical story with a pallet of water in a dump trailer pretty much had to beg the guy to use another pallet and shove it as far forward as he could reach. Also if your skid steer has a front door load it backwards it’s 1200.00 dollars vs 70.00
Also SUPER IMPORTANT: have the correct drop on your receiver hitch :) Ultimately your truck will sit level and your trailer axles will carry the same amount of weight. Spend $5 at your local CAT scale and have all axles weighted, it could save your life! I have found moving my (old, small Bobcat 743) Skidsteeer less then a foot forward/ back on my trailer can make a HUGE difference in ride/ handling. YMMV
Congratulations pops!! And don't apologize when you school someone, that could have saved someone life. Question... where's life adventure guy..? He was doing good. Cheers love the sound of that exhaust.
I have that exact diamond C trailer that carries my skid steer every day. We load forward but have 2 buckets on the machine and a set of forks on the front of the trailer. Have never had any sway problems but we load pretty far forward.
Congrats Mr Sam to you and Yours. Good tidbits of info always. We were always taught that (tongue weight) it's funny round here (east central florida) got one of the biggest land learning contractors does his "smaller" pulling with the Kubota , forget which one but it's DEFINITELY WAY TOO HEAVY to pull it with his tundra (shocks Completely compressed) 👀😲🤦🏼♂️
Congratulations on the birth of your son and your wife is healthy. Enjoy the time since the years go by very fast. I have one suggestion: Make a diary for your son of the events for each month and include pictures (hard copy, since media changes) and make a new one for each year he lives at home. Do the same for all your children and eventually your grandchildren. My children are all getting older with some in their 40's; the time goes by very fast, especially when you are busy.
Your DIY store story brought me to remember I guy doing the same thing to me several years ago. I had barrowed a friends trailer to pick up some sheetrock. Guy loading it the load on the back half. Had an actual argument with him convincing him that it was seriously unsafe.
I was following a pickup hauling a 16ft. stock trailer with a huge bull as the only cargo. The bull was facing forward and decided he wanted to look at where he had been. He sat down as he pawed the side of the trailer to turn around, I said he was huge. Half way around the back wheels of the pickup went straight up in the air. The driver did his best to keep the truck and trailer straight (all this at about 30 - 35 MPH), but the pickup was no match. The pickup laid over on its side with the trailer still on its wheels, but the bull had had enough and busted out the back gate. No injuries but the Highway Patrol had fun rounding up the bull and getting a wrecker to put the pickup back on its wheels. Take care of mom and the boy after all she did most of the work.
If your trailer starts to sway, no matter what happens, DON'T hit the vehicle brakes. Apply the trailer brake while romping on the throttle. You can usually pull the sway out. That will settle it down.
I’ve never loaded a skid steer backwards other than ounce when it had extra weights on the back and no front attachment other than that I’ve always loaded them forwards. On gooseneck or bumper pull. On my gooseneck I just spin around on the deck and go down forward
Those RV wrecks looked mainly sidewind related to me, as they just came around semis and by looking at the landscape looks like windy environments. But people never believe the weight of the mulcher heads, always funny when you show them the nameplate.
I have been trying to explain to people for years that they have to balance their trailers properly. It is astounding the number of people who don't know that you need hitch weight to be able to keep a trailer under control. I almost always hear, "But it makes my lights shine too high if I have to drive after dark." I will typically try to explain that with a bumper pull trailer that is kinda normal and if they are that concerned about towing after dark they should plan their trip so that situation can be avoided. But most of all make sure the trailer is loaded properly and make sure the tow vehicle can handle the job! Great explanation on your part, this subject gets ignored way too often and usually ends very badly.
Congratulations and my best to Taylor and you. Callahan the Mulcher man. Sounds good. My uncle had me driving tractor at 4 years old so you don't have long to wait for a three man team. Because I load my trailer to the gills, I got a tongue scale. Loaded my trailer wanting about 1500 pounds of tongue weight. I have a good guesser. Got done and weighted the tongue. 1500 right on the nose. A weight distributing hitch is really necessary for that sort of weight on a bumper pull. Setting it up takes at least a whole day. Each corner of the truck should settle the same amount hitched. And the trailer should be level. I have a Reese Dual Cam. So you start with a good guess. Hitch drive around turn both directions then end with the truck and trailer straight. On the dual cam you have to adjust the length of the cam arms too. Adjust go again, adjust go again adjust etc. And of course you have to have the correct load bars. So for mine I have 1500 pound load bars.
Just found your channel, Loving the content! It’s amazing how people outside your industry are experts on yours. That’s the internet for ya... Pulling a trailer is all in the weight placement and a quality trailer. I kind of like that new trailer you have. I’m looking to get a lighter one as well, may have to check them out. THANKS FOR SHARING! .... ps, don’t give the haters the time of day, it just gives them fuel to keep stirring the pot!
Congrats on your baby boy! I flipped my 28ft bumper pull RV with sway control, going 10 miles under the speed limit, and 1 ton truck. I have pulled trailers my whole life, I will never buy one again. The intro gave me flashbacks. I now have a 5th wheel and it has way better handling.
If your trailer starts wagging, gun the fuel and apply the trailer breaks. Then reduce the fuel while trailer slows you down. Safe travels
Many people have no idea how to recover from such a situation. Yes floor it and trailer brakes if you have them. Of not floor it and when straight coast.
Was just about to say the same thing brother.
Thanks for the information. I’m new to hauling a trailer and I am looking to buy a camper. This will be handy to know.
Brakes. Breaks. Two very different words.
@@chooch1995 never a good day when the two words get combined either lol
Love the fact that you’re trying to keep people safe. Bless you for that.
Tried explaining tongue weight to a guy that just got a camper. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what antisway load distribution stuff you buy. You can't pull without proper tongue weight
Love the video just wish we could see what’s going on in stead of seeing a big word GONE and can’t see
I would guarantee that not one of these trailers had stabilising equipment installed.
Congratulations Sam! I'm glad mother and baby are doing well.
Those clips at the beginning of the video are why I prefer 5th wheels as far as travel trailers go. Plus people forget the rake of the trailer and the tow vehicle.

That's commonsense

@@Average1212 agreed. I could drive around a month of sunday and never see a skid loaded loaded backwards.
I’ll always back on no tipping issues
Why not always back on? Reduces the chance of rock chips I always figured
Congrats on the growing family and thanks for great videos!
Congratulations on the birth of y’all son, glad to hear mother and son doing well!!
Lil Callahan cool home boy. Rock the AC/DC for the boy. He will love it. Good job Dad. Love n respect to y'all.

Congratulations on your new little family member, Taylor doing okay 👌, congrats to both of you.
Congratulations on the kid!! Glad everyone is doing well.
Congratulations on the birth of your son! Forklift operators always crack me up when they don't want to push the pallet in with the forks!
Congratulations Sam on the little guy! I hope Taylor and he are doing ok, my little guy is 22 now and yes the times fly! Take time to learn your new as Dad...it is new a and great experience.
Congrats daddy! Being a dad is awesome. We had a pallet pusher at my last job just for that reason. When I loaded someone I asked where they wanted it and made sure they had tongue weight.

Hell yeah, brother! Really good video. Welcome to fatherhood! There is nothing else like it...greatest feeling in the world.

Thanks Sam, Great video. GOD BLESS ALL Y'ALL
Thanks for that information. Kind of made me think a little bit about different scenarios.
Congratulations to your entire family! God bless you all. Take care of your wife!

Congratulations on the new baby boy,... I have a T76 Bobcat and I always load it forward just add some tongue weight on the ole Cummins 6.7
Hell yeah Brother! Congratulations on your son!
Congratulations you guys and welcome Callahan. Your videos are always informative and entertaining😂, that last camper with two loose propane tanks flopping around was cringe worthy😳🙄. Thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Congratulations on the little one🤙🤙 Side note got my mug and shirt the other day. Enjoying both
One advantage to loading the rear first even with a attachment on the front is road debri, salt, snow, rain etc won’t be entering the cab, garfing up the interior of the cab. Love your videos!!
Don't have to worry about that if you have an enclosed cab
You can always get a newer enclosed trailer
*bobcat* not trailer
but then you have the issue of is there enough weight on ball
th-cam.com/video/4jk9H5AB4lM/w-d-xo.html
@@mrfordfairmont I don't think that trumps proper weight distribution...which i think was the point of the content.
Congratulations on your new little mechanic!!!!

Congrats on y’all’s son. People don’t realize that the so caller 1/2 ton towable campers still require a 3/4 ton once they loaded down with everything
Gratz on the little man bud 😎👍
It is also critical to limit how much weight is behind the axles. That will amplify sway.
A video worth watching. Thanks!

Congratulations on your baby boy he so going have fun when he grows up with all them diesel truck
Like you said with your machine there's no need to load backwards but it's a good idea with the majority of machines.
