[QUOTE="Greg185, post: 40522, member: 4952"] I am a brand new member to the skidsteer forum. Recently purchased a 2004 Bobcat S185 with 950 hrs. I've run serveral skidsteers over the years, but this is my first ownership. Something that gives me the spooks is this. I have a 20 ft tilt bed trailer with the front 4 ft stationary. The incline is minimal when loading the Bobcat on to the trailer. With an attachment on the Bobcat and driving the Bobcat on, everything is fine. The other day, I wanted to put the Bobcat on the trailer without a bucket. When I entered on to the incline of the trailer, with no weight on the front of the Bobcat, it just spooked me with the front being so light and the front wheels began to rise. It just felt like it was going to tip over backward. The reason that I was wanting to go on forward, was to retrieve a front snow blade that was on my trailer. I ended up manually turning the blade to the side of the trailer and lifing it off from the side. Would the Bobcat tip over backward or is this something that I just need to get used to and that it won't go over backward. Yeah, I know, when transporting the Bobcat, it should be backed on. And, I do do this when transporting the Bobcat. I just wanted to retreive this attachment and thought I could possibly drive on to get it. Just gave me this spooky feeling of tipping over backward. Thanks for any responces. Greg [/QUOTE]
