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.

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.

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.

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.

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

i agree with you about loading the machine forward , buy a trailer long enough for the machine to fit. I have an issue with the twisted safety chains when hooked to the 3500, while dot regs don't specifically address it, if it were done on a load securement chain it would be a violation. A safety chain is subject to the same deformation as a load securement when put under tension so it would have the same tendency to break for that reason I wouldn't twist them.

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.

I was hauling a car home when two tie-downs broke. The car rolled back and caused the weight to shift off of the hitch and lift the back of the truck. At that point, I lost complete control of the truck and trailer, I was guard rail to guard rail for what seemed to be miles. The only thing I could do was hit the gas and straighten it out then try to slow down. It took about ten tries to get stopped. So if your trailer starts to sway gas it and use the brake controller. By the way, the brake controller blew the fuze at some point on the way home before this happened. Had to change my shorts after that!

Excellent video. As a builder of bumper pull fuel trailers the 60/40 weight on the tongue keeps you out of trouble and all properly built trailers are built on that principle empty or loaded. Any trailer built heavy rear of axles/ tandems or load for that matter is an accident waiting to happen. On the other hand overloading the tongue with the tow vehicle squatting on the ground and the trailer nose diving is bad too normally due to overloading or not distributing the weight on the trailer correctly as you stressed in your tutorial. Nice work and this should be a mandatory video for anyone pulling a trailer before doing so. 👍
