Unsecured load? Hard stop? Load shifted? Nah, just stupid.
I saw a car hauler type trailer with two concrete barrier blocks on it. No chains or straps. Probably over weight for the trailer and they drove past a State Patrol vehicle. Some people are luckier than others I guess.
 


I came close to a Barney moment yesterday. I had just loaded my tractor onto my trailer at the fair after my last hook when I got interrupted. When I got back to it I picked up my gas can and tool box and put them in the back of my truck. I then pulled out of the pit area and parked out in general parking and returned to the club display tent. After a few hours I went back out to leave, and as I pulled out onto the exit road another puller pulled over ahead of me and got out and went back and took up on a chain. As I passed him, looking back in the mirror, I noticed that I had no chains on. Oops!
 
Here's a few I sold last fall. Molines, UTIL with lull loader, RTI, UTI with winch and heavy duty front blade. He only went from NY to Chicago area. I thought he was crazy but he made it.

Old people claim they have common sense than kids.

So a young kid must have loaded that trailer.
 
I see 8 tone not 12. Now if he loads 8 more behind the axles he'll be just fine. I would load those over the trailer axles and it would have all been fine. Building trailers is easy it's the getting the design right that is the problem sometimes.
 
I think SV might be stirring the pot. I see bales on the other side of trailer on the ground.
You think SV might be loading the trailer and took a pic so Barney gets paid $50?
 
3x4 bales max out at about 1400 pounds the 4x4 on a good day will make 18 or 1900 and thats pretty much at max capacity. . These weighed 1850 and were wet . By the looks of the rear tire on that pickup hes probably lucky the hitch broke before he came off the other side of the hill and it blew out going highway speed

That wouldnt explain the broken tongue now would it . You better zoom in there are no bales on the ground and it isnt my trailer or picture
 
Thats what I always do a couple of walk arounds before I hit
the road because Im forgetful especially if I walk off and do
something else for a minute

It's home made trailers like this that keep Barney and the lawyers in business. And wouldn't the design be part of building? Plus it's not only the design and knowing how to weld, it's knowing where to weld as well. Trailers are much more complex than the novice builder thinks.
 
I dont think so . There is no false information everything that was said is pretty much the truth so nope barney doesnt get a check today
 
(quoted from post at 18:34:58 10/03/21) Not necessarily I can build a truck engine but I cant design one .

Yeah, but truck engines pretty much come with all the parts cut out and fitting together one way with engineered fasteners.

With a trailer you get a pile of 20' lengths of steel, and you have to figure out what size steel to use, what shapes to make the parts, and the whole works depends on your welding skill to stay together.
 
It's people who think they can design a trailer but can't that end up like the guy in your pic.
