If loaded incorrectly at a Materials Site. How do you balance your load? I've seen others lift their bed partial with gate on. This allowed gravity to shift load back but I tried it with my bed and when I released the bed downward, it flew down and slammed on the frame? How do I trouble shoot this? Other's I've seen drop down the bed slowly. Can you share your experience please.

Yes, pushing the clutch will stop and maintain the height. Putting the pto stick in in neutral will stop and maintain the height as well. Pushing the clutch in and put the trans in gear and releasing the clutch to creep forward (without putting the pto stick in neutral) the bed will continue to raise while moving forward.. This is how dump trucks spead gravel. This is not recommended for dump trailer, just Tandem dumps.
