yeah, okay. That was a joke…… seriously?!
use the blade on the front scrap the tow truck bed
and the whole time the winch chain is laying there right in the middle of the flat bed….. "IT'S NOT WORTH DYIN' FOR"
did y’all even listen to what he said??? “with the right tools he could have gotten it up there” getting it up there wasn’t the only problem he literally said they could fall off while driving bc of the ICE with that amount of weight……he did his best if it’s too dangerous then it’s too dangerous he didn’t wanna risk his life or anyone else’s and he shouldn’t have to 🤷🏼♀️
Common sense would suggest shoveling salt, dirt and small rocks onto the trailer ramp and bed may have helped.
Did anyone else notice that the ripper in the back was down and dragging? Maybe it would be easier if you pulled the ripper up?
Nothing will hold it uhm chains ? Or your not planning on chaining it down when loaded use your winch it's just sitting there. Therea 2 of yea lol
SAND!!!
Why didn’t you just winch it on
Should have came prepared
Better safe than sorry. Your family needs you alive and not injured. Good call 👍.
The dam winch is right there. Between winch and light power to the dozer would of got it up.
if u need to store the trailer indoors to make the surface thaw out then why not thaw it out right there with a blowtorch…seems a lot faster n efficient to me, but what do i know…
That’s called, not being prepared. You knew the deck was frozen and you knew what you were loading.
Just push it man!!
Physics rules will be on your side.
It's called cat litter or the freaking winch
I love it when people say they are out of ideas….but never had one in the first place.
History channel: I nearly died getting out of bed today
I tried everything 😆 what a joke …
That's what the winch is for.
SAND, wench, pulley
Oh man…this is sad!!!!
Winch??? 😆
Isn't this the reason most heavy haul beds are wooden?
This driver is a drama queen.
Why he did not use the chain to pull it up and use catlitter or ice melt dude u or a clown
Been working construction for the last 3 years and I’ve never seen heavy equipment like this not loaded onto a lowboy, this seems extremely dangerous
Winch it up and chain it down.
Ffs there are a thousand ways to get that job done… tv drama
The heavy equipment operation and the buyer Def should fire them and just find someone local who knows what their doing. A simple Google search would have yielded this guy some answers on what to bring just in case. Lazy af.
What about using some rubber stripes, something from a conveyor belt? Using some winch to help with pulling the dozer? I am not a professional, but I think this guy isn't either!
well .. u know the conditions to expect and show up completly unprepared.
Pick the ripper teeth up…. That always help out to move it🤔. Also your trailer does have a winch. Use it
I saw him drive up on the deck right on top of his chain and winch. I would have used that after the first try.
come on dude. Salt would help your tractor grip
It ALMOST slid off the truck
There's a winch right on his trailer. Maybe it's not strong enough to pull up a 20K pound load by itself, but certainly it could give it some help while driving it up. And then he thinks the load is going to shift while going down the road? What does he think cross-chaining is for? Amateur hour.
A steel deck to haul steel tracked equipment? That's trouble summer and winter.
Tried everything you could? The question begs, why arent you using the winch? Shoulda did that first slip. Cost everybody money because you're obviously inexperienced
And warming the loading deck ??? it's what we do in my job when winter comes , and loading decks are frozen , we take a toch or gaztank , and " warm " the ground / loading deck , and after it's like a warm and sunny day for 20 – 30 min / 1h …
He lose so much money … :O
Always have a little torch when you are in a cold/snowy region
Why are we loading something so heavy on a flatbed????? Have they ever heard of lowboys in Canada?
Please you lazy toad.
Hopeless.
Common sense would dictate to carry some rocksalt and plywood if you’re trying to do stuff like this guy is doing, make loading easier.
that's way too heavy that's imposible.
Sand? Dirt? That's ridiculous they don't have something to get these machines up there.
I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas.
just throw some dirt on the bed of the truck man..
You have any wood
Not an excavator, wait til sun comes up a bit , throw sand and salt. Silly kid just lost the haul over impatience and lack of knowledge
