[QUOTE="rmcgehee, post: 114949, member: 20004"] Yes these are good ideas: keep landing gear 1 inch off ground, ready to dump, and also leaving some tension on brakes, very good. Yes, moving the trailer wheels forward will solve any tongue weight issue, but I was more thinking of the just what amount of mass of SS would prevent the trailer from dragging the SS. I also suppose a tracked SS would offer more sliding resistance than a wheeled SS. Another concern is that by lifting the bucket high enough to chain the kingpin to it is going to make the SS top heavy...I know there are adaptors for this, but I doubt they're available for rent, but I could be wrong. So after your ideas, flyerdan, I'm now more worried about the trailer pulling the SS over onto its face (with me in it) than worried about the trailer pulling the SS down the hill upright... [/QUOTE]
