bushog/cutter stuck on trailer

[denoginnizer]

Usaully when moving from one rented pasture to next I pull the bushog Aka ,16ft rhino cutter , with the truck then come back and hook up the gooseneck trailer, load the tractor . This morning I was in a hurry and thought that in order to save time I would just drive the tractor and bushog up on the trailer.
All went well until it came time to unload . I discovered that the bushog had somehow gotten itself at a funny angle and there was no way it would unload off the trailer without going off the side of the trailer.

*Things that wont work when this happens to you.*
1.Pulling forward and backwards, no matter how many times , with only two feet of space.
2.Applying break on one or the other side of tractor in hopes of straightining bushog.
3.pulling bushog over in the correct unloading position with a two wheel drive truck.
4. Putting block behind one side of the bushogs tires in order two push the otherside into proper position.
Next time I will back the tractor and bushog on or move them seperatly.
Anyone else ever encountered this?

Did you try a hi-lift jack. I've never had anything that didn't act like it wanted to slide when on one. Jack one side up a few inches and it should be easier for the truck to slide it over a few inches at a time. If your not to bright like me jack it from the middle and shove the whole thing over by hand a few inches at a time.

Left the hi-jack at the barn about 20 miles away

Ain't it great to use the hi-lifts propensity to fall to one side to your advantage. Used one to rotate a loaded 2 wheel trailer in the barn by pushing it off the jack several times in the desired direction.

Good luck & happy trails.

D- How did you end up getting the shredder off the trailer?

One more idea to try. Next time you load, chain down your bushhog after you load it, then it won't move.

Or back it on the trailer.

Then all you got to do is drive straight off.

It sounds like you may need a helicopter to get unloaded.
