Happy Birthday Iain. If you are lucky, Joseph might buy you a Bolens.

Loading up three machines for the Ransomes display at Tractor World, 137 decided not to slow down whilst I was reversing on the trailer, I was perched on the seat but managed to hit the decompressor lever and stop the engine before I went a over t. The old sphincters were twitching a bit. We call them our toys but should never forget that things can go badly wrong. All safely loaded now and nearly ready to go.

you cant beat a good wench lol

Nothing moves in or out of my van now without a winch cable attached, might not be so lucky next time. its embarrassing too, there's always people watching at shows

nothing like good ramps and a wench. lol I used to ride them up, but with an implement and my 200 lbs, that's nearly half a tonne. most ramps aren't rated for that much weight. I walk along them while they SLOWLY inch up. Hydrostatic drives make it easiet.

I had a similar thing happen, i use to let the tractors idle and drive themselves in and out of the van until i was at a show unloading the rowcrop. It decided to kick the ramp out and being a trike fell on its side still running. It scratched all the bonnet and bent the exhaust and footrest. after the show i was loading back up and exactly the same thing happened lucky i was standing the right side on both occasions. ive loaded and unloaded dozens of times and never had a problem till then. Thats when I bought new ramps and a power in and out winch
