I'm thinking he was going juuuust the right (wrong) speed to get the whole mess galloping and lost it. Just happened to be in the worst possible spot.
I've had the experience of a whole line of equipment trailing behind get bouncy and believe me, you better get it under control right f***ing now or something else you didn't plan on will stop it for you.

Yeah, heaviest lashup I've driven is a JD 4960 with a Hesston 4790 baler in tow. The bounce a little bit but not bad, the worst is when it is about to drop a bale.

No FF 'n kidding,As a 18yr old i was one day pulling a trackhoe on a lowboy behind a 40 hp tractor,was slow but steady going till i topped a bridge,going down hill proved a diff matter when the 20 T load started pushing me faster and faster,swaying like mad and no G dam way of slowing down or stopping it ,I just hung on for dear life:eek. Luckely there was a slight rise in the road ahead to slow me down again.I never attemted something like that again:nonod:

Simon, great story! That there is exactly why we don't recommend that people pull 15k loads with half- tons... It isn't the pulling that's the issue - it's the stopping!

I got an other F up posted in "the fail tread" off topic,just as nerve racking(for me anyway), i'm a lucky man i'm still intact:smile5:

What a mess for sure. You were talking about taking a ride. Back in my heavy farming days I used an old 60's Case tractor with almost no brakes on it. I rode that bastard into the holler many a times holding on, driving it for what it was worth. And trust me where we use to farm at, it was not flatlands it was mountains.

Well a few weeks ago dad bought a 4X4 Massey Ferguson and I thought I was in hog heaven. A newer tractor with brakes and 4 wheel drive to beat it all. Dang its time to get some work out of it.
