    Would it help if you had a cart with two axles. I bet with a decent amount of weight on the tongue and two axles on the trailer you would be in better shape.

    I don't have a picture of it, but my father does. I was helping him dig the pond on our land out and I was driving the dump truck hauling the dirt away. This was a long time ago. Anywho, he had an old Ford single axle dump truck and you had to pull a handle BEFORE you dumped the bed so it would release the tailgate and let the load slide out. Well that wet clay was heavy let me tell ya. LOFL. I forgot to release the handle and I stood that dump truck almost right up straight on it's rear bumper. Luckily she did not go sideways, or bend the frame on it. Tough old girl that Ford was. :thumbs: Don't tell anybody about that. :zip:

    No pics but when I ran equipment I ended up standing on the front window of a 953 track loader. Also flipped the back end of an off road dump truck which is common and easy to do. Other random oops here and there.
