[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 114948, member: 2510"] If you still have the landing gear, you can always drop the boom and use them as an anchor if it starts wanting to go too fast. Without air, you'll have to cage the brakes, I suppose you could leave a little tension on them so they will drag a bit. That would make it a bit harder to push on level ground but will keep it from wanting to run away. As for what size SS you'd need, that would depend on how much weight needed to be lifted to get the nose up. If you have sliding axles on the trailer, moving them as far forward as possible will of course reduce the amount of lifting force needed. If this is your first time attempting something like this, might I suggest reading a [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Atractorbynet.com+semi+trailer+bridge&source=hp&ei=CjBvYNmlMMO4-gSisI24CQ&iflsig=AINFCbYAAAAAYG8-GppxVsa8NEcRCKLrnKkjXaf53pOw&oq=site%3Atractorbynet.com+semi+trailer+bridge&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAM6BQgAELEDOggILhDHARCjAjoICAAQsQMQgwE6CwguELEDEMcBEKMCOgIIADoCCC46DgguELEDEMcBEKMCEJMCOg4ILhCxAxCDARDHARCjAjoFCC4QsQM6CAguELEDEIMBOggILhDHARCvAToLCC4QsQMQxwEQrwE6EQguELEDEIMBEMcBEKMCEJMCOgQIABAKUK-ZAViZogJgqbYCaABwAHgAgAGHAYgBjBWSAQQzOS4ymAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpeg&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjZ0sK2ie_vAhVDnJ4KHSJYA5cQ4dUDCAg&uact=5'] few threads on Tractor By Net [/URL] from people that have done it; might avoid some problems from those that have btdt.
