The things you do when you probably don't own the equipment..

Thats a lot of faith in that chain. If it snaps it could have easily cut the guy on the ground in half. Buy some ramps.

Its all fun & games until someone gets hurt........then its funny as hell and good for a million more views. Stay safe.

That's a badass chain

"Hello John Deere? Uh my bogie wheels for some reason just....broke! I have no idea why" Running the chain to the side of the trailer was stupider than the rest of the stunt. Let's put a twisting moment on the whole machine as it is contacting only the ends of the beams. This guy was on the brink of a spinning disaster! Darwin !!

That's a nice machine you have dangling off that tiny chain. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it...

The guy in the white shirt must be a former NASCAR employee. LMFAO.

Now load it back up on the trailer.

Folks have addressed the chain...Yep! The bogie wheels...Agreed. Let's talk hydraulics. At one point the 'Effective Load' on the bucket cylinders was extremely high. When you are loading the cylinders via the pump the pressure is limited. In this case the pressure in the cylinders and piping back to the valve stack was created by the forces on the bucket. The valve stack acts like a closed valve. When the hose fails all hell will break loose. The loader crashes, the hose whips around with deadly force. Yes, I am a Mechanical Engineer and I understand summation of moments etc. Just because some fool tried this once and it worked doesn't mean it's an acceptable practice. When you see a human die under a machine it will change you...forever! Explain to the widow and his (or her) kids why you thought this was good idea. Nuff said!

Yes ! Can be done !! Until that chain breaks ( especially when he snatches chain) and the Skid steer turns turtle !! could break the operators neck !, Bad News, life changer !!

While it takes skil to unload like that a professional would have the right truck to haul the machine to begin with instead of trusting your life to a chain. Impressive yet foolish

That should be a video on how not to unload that amazing the tractor didn't get damaged are some one didn't get hurt

That is a strong ass chain!

Really nice video )

alot of money teetering on a small chain like that. you have a nice machine lets get a nice trailer with ramps too

There is seriously something wrong with that driver. He isn't even slow and cautious while doing something so dangerous.

How did that tiny chain hold that? I was waiting for it to explode and send chain links in every direction.

Intelletto.. e Maestria!

Looks like they had to improvise on that one, but with a little forethought they would have loaded the track loader onto the truck facing backwards, then unloaded it like you normally do without ramps.

Damm seeing the track bend and flex like that when it’s teetering on the edge. Makes me wonder how long till they have a track break on site.

Die Idee ist gut !

Someday they will find out that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link😒 Then they will discover the element of surprise😳

Good thing it has those beveled ends. If they were square ends that would be hard on the belts in the tracks . Those sharp edges can cause a belt to break.

OMG!!!!! that is so dangerous i would never try that with such a small chain, but they do have some big balls!!!!!

Cool man

Way 2 go i think that was very smart and making stuff happen when you have no other choice. Very enginuitive and improvising. Id do it if i had to good job.

Pretty strong chains

Why the running??? Lmao I like the little shuffle steps

Skill, and balls...

Great job. Work on a construction site is almost as hard as typing on a computer.

Nice job god bless

How many fingers does the chain operator have??

nice

I agree with the standard comment that this in not safe. And the guy running at the end to unhook the chain will eventually loose fingers grabbing at a chain hook right as the chain is about to go tight again.

How was the track loader loaded

Hmm, seems to be alot of people worried about the quality of chain your using.... it's not supporting the full weight of the machine and probably good for at least 10000lbs. Skilled operator with big balls!

Confident driver

Impressive but I wouldn’t be standing anywhere near that chain. I’m not sure about other models but I heard stories of bobcats running away when they get tipped on their back

That has to be Wolfe house lifting. Those guys are amazing with their machines.

I Like it. American ingenuity. Applying the laws of physics and the forces of hydraulics to adapt to a situation. Safety? Stand back from ALL machines off loading trailers. Risk management? Skilled operators working with their teams minimize risk. Keep up good work.

Like my buddy just said, now load it back lol.. that’s bananas 🍌, but when there’s a will there’s a way.

good

ok yes if you have unlimited funds by all means ship it separately, I will guess the beams are so long they had to be on the bottom and the skidsteer was also to be delivered riskey yes, but the job got done.. Ive seen Log skidders delivered and rather than drop the lowboy they would just drive them off the trailer in a perfect world everything is done correctly but this is the real world sorry people.. dont be hating!

That was just scary to watch. If you watch, the machine did actually slide off, and was not in full control of the operator. Added to the fact that the chain was only connected on one side of the trailer, and not even centrally fixed, is just an accident waiting to happen. He is lucky that machine didn't rotate with how that chain was attached and send him both sideways, and on his side, off that truck.

what if the chain broke??

smooth as a taco bell shit .... disastrous

How to get it back on?

On this weeks episode of “How to break shit”

Nice!!!

I seen to be a little confused at why this skid steer is loaded on what looks like 2 I beams on top of a low boy trailor?

This started with "hold my beer n watch this shit"

Aweful lot of faith in that chain

they didnt have ramps and got it done...... meanwhile the ladies cryin in the comments woulda sat around staring at it hoping it would just unload itself

That's CRAZY!!! I'd have shit myself!!! Great job operator!!!

YAll the real question is not how they unload but how the loaded it up in the 1st place before they unloaded it?🤔

That was extremely dangerous... Not for the operator but the people standing around .. if that tiny chain snapped and sends shrapnel everywhere y'all in for it 😂 mad skills tho

Guys got balls in his brain compartment 😂

Durará muy poco forzándole de esta manera.

looks a bit scary :'D

Surprised chain didn’t break🤣

Ever notice there is always some dipstick around giving crappy hand signals? lol

Pretty cool. If the chain snaps, guy in the whit shirt is a dead man.😔

hats off to the smoooothe operator

So every time you load and unload your getting no oil to your engine for however long it takes you. Ramps are cheaper than engines.

I can barely unload one with ramps because of the tippy feeling holy shit

OSHA enters the group chat…

You should probably buy the proper trailer. That Is hard on everything. And how do you load it?

Nek minute, chain snaps...

how cool is that? Very

I'd like to know why the machine was loaded on top of the beams. As it is, pretty dumb, for all the reasons given below. But most of all, that looks like a lot to ask of that chain, I wouldn't have trusted it. (I wouldn't have done something like that at all.)

Muito arriscado na minha opinião. Melhor seria as rampas

SNAP

I assume there is a good reason why it's on the beams instead of the trailer; necessitating these acrobatics?

sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

Omg. Ur trusting Ur life..on a chain....

Pretty hard on the machine....next time remember to bring ramps.

WTF kind of cable was that?

And that's exactly how you tear up a good machine. Putting stress on the boom rams. You're putting 10,000 lbs on rams that have a 1500lb lift capacity. That's 6x its capacity. Watch when the seals blow. Better hope they don't blow out carrying a load.

nAH !!

Guess someone needs to tell them sometimes chains do break ya know....

That does look like small chain, still looks dangerous. Poss. The chain snapped, it would take that dude's pointing finger rights off.

they felt they had the skill and that is was worth the risk of damage to equipment or life and this time they made it without problems. Very risky way to do it. Good entertainment factor though.

Lasteramper burde vært der til bruk.siste sort å kjøre av på den måten

rien de bien intéressant ! quel titre redondant

The bucket is to carry the operators nuts around.

How many times was this failed before they got it right

"How to load video", would be more interesting🧐🙈!

Doesn't look amazing to me. Actually foolish in my opinion. Would no longer be employed if he worked for me.

wow the comments are full of safety sallies

That was unbelievable. I can't believe that did something as reckless as that

1D10T instructional video

Is there a link to the chain mfg. website?

PAINT THE SKID STEER GREEN AND CALL IT THE SNAPPER

too bad the chain didint break 😂

Not sure that chain would have held the weight of the tractor.

Why not load/unload it with the bed of the truck without the red steel beams?!

I thought this was loading without ramps lol

what if the chain snap?

I wouldnt have used the chain or wood. Just run er up to full throttle and get sum

It's a wonder somebody didn't get hurt in that video
