I don't have a Doctor. Ain't been to one since I was 18.

Neither did I!

Whoops! Kiss your privacy goodbye lol. You'll be right up there with the ferrous fole! Fwiw, I work for a tree company and we may be adopting your technique soon. I mean, who wants to chip all that brush anyway?

There are more vids of the “method” on my channel.

Oh I'm tuned in! I wonder if we should go to g rated sidewalls on the trailer tires?

So....that's a rabbit hole...my day job is a big machine and welding shop where we fix trailers a lot, among many other things. Mainly axles. Tires absob shock. Maybe post some pics of the frame and undercarriage of your trailer. Trying to determine how much tree a trailer can take is very seat of the pants based on experience, maybe more with trailers than trees. My Miller tilt bed trailer is a heavy duty equipment trailer with an 8" frame, IIRC and the Carson is lighter duty 6", but reinforced axles. It could use heavier duty axles and suspension really. Both steel decks. E tires. Wouldn't do nearly as big of a tree on the carson as the miller. The miller has a hydraulic cylinder turned into a shock absorber for the tilt which helps. I also stack limbs strategically to crush for cushion.


A big part of it too is that if I break my trailer I can fix it, on site if I have to. Learning the hard way could be a nightmare.
The other thing to consider is that your tongue weight will be all wrong.

I have my winch in my truck and forklifts at my shop to handle stuff.

Come on we need some YouTube drama dammit

I've heard there is a video of a guy folding his trailer up doing it but I haven't been able to find it.

Most modern trailers and mainly their suspension and running gear are pretty cheap junk.

An engineer with the ability to calculate tree weight, falling speed, and resulting kinetic energy, along with reverse engineering what the trailer could take could get in the neighborhood. I just stay on the safe side.

Leave the trailer at home and just use the dodge

We have a big ass pj, twin axle dump with dexter cantilever axles. We haul log loads, our bobcat t595, sometimes both at the same time
It's steel with a massive ibeam frame. I think it weighs 7k lbs. It has the solid steel wheels too, not stamped. It's a big *b-word. Oh.... What's tongue load?

Well get after it then!

Not that big. Pintle.

Smashing the truck two ways and driving away

Oh. That’s not my story, a guy I know went north to fall redwoods. Told them he could fall trees with the best of them, proceeded to lose a smaller tree over backwards across his pickup. Got the loader up there and they took it off. He set up on the tree next to the last one and cut his hinge off, bang. Right across his truck again, front to back. Asks the loader operator to take it off and they told him no. Get the fûck outta here. He had to cut off the ends of the log and drive his pickup into town with a section of log caved in to his cab.

 

[davidwyby]

Must have been a dodge to take a tree twice and drive away

 

[chiselbit]

If I ever see him again I’ll ask him
