those 3.4L engines redline at like 5500 rpm and hit peak torque so damn low in the rev range it was almost comical. I was a lifelong Honda driver before driving one and they don't peak until VTEC kicks in around 4.5k-5k
Some people just have the ability. My wife always packed the van because she could look at a garage full of gear and kids stuff and see in her mind how it could all fit. I was always amazed at the result.
I load up donated boxes of produce in volunteers’ cars for them to deliver to local pantries. Every car is different so it’s a mental game of 3D Tetris.
And we manage to marry someone without those skills. My spouse couldn't pack the car to save their life.
All I ask it to let me know when everything they wanted packed is in a single pile and which bag is the stuff you might need during the trip; then I load the car. It never fails that there is always one more bag after the car is level full.
No shade, everyone is good at things and bad at other stuff.
I kinda have that ability. The trouble is I don't ever casually implement it day to day. So things become a mess and then I have to organize like crazy.
Hell I didn’t make more or less money depending on the load, but I used to tow a lot with a pickup truck with a trailer for a roofing company. A lot of weird loads, and some pretty standard repeated loads. You just kinda start seeing it after a while. You start visualizing things not as what they are but how a strap/chain will be attached to them. Then eventually the puzzle just starts to click.
I think for a good chunk of this sub, towing for them means they are taking their lawn mower to get serviced and that’s about it.
This is all used equipment, so it's probably experience plus trial and error. Manufacturers actually have engineers that design the most efficient way to transport their products. I've seen new equipment shipped very similarly to this.
I'm not prepared to rule out the possibility that there are chains on the Deere that are not visible in this short video. They might have wrapped chains around the axle behind the wheels or something. I make the claim that it looks solid based on the fact that the complexity of this setup is such that if incompetent or inexperienced individuals tried something like this, I bet it would have gone awry much sooner. There is also the possibility that they are not finished securing everything. Take it with a grain of salt, as they say.
I figured way overweight too, so did some looking online. Couldn't tell all the models but I came up with just under 50k lbs, so maybe they were OK on total
Not saying they're good, but there appear to be chains over the rear axle. And they don't seem to be shy with chains, so there might be something hidden at the front of the Deere.
Either way, I'd give it a wide berth if I saw it on the highway...
Looks like it’s strapped to the trailer and using the proper equipment. Not really an idiot unless it’s overweight.  Just cause it looks weird doesn’t mean it’s an idiot towing things load.
Exactly. It doesn't matter what it looks like. It's called load security, and from what I can tell, that load is secure! When you make a living by hauling, you make sure to take advantage of every square inch available to you, as long as it's safe and legal. That's not this guy's first BBQ.
Pulled their motor carrier record and they are pretty much average as far as violations go, nothing too out of the ordinary. Everything is strapped appropriately and the only concern I see is weight limit. I wouldn't want to have a tractor or implement delivered in that fashion, but I'm guessing this is probably hauling to a scrap yard.
The one tractor I saw a model number on was the MF 596, which Google says maxes out at about 8k. Assuming a similar weight for the rest of the tractors (likely a bit less for the 2wd units), plus 7k-9k for the bin, it's at least possible they're under max legal weight.
You know, I think the answer to the "how did they know to stack it this way" question is more than likely "they have done it this way a bunch of times." Like people mentioned, the rigging looks good (yes, I have read people say the deer doesn't have chains.. I think they are on the axles), so if it isn't overweight they probably just.. do it this way a lot.
I find that this sort of thing happens in farming. Some times someone is doing something that doesn't seem to make sense, but it turns out they arrived at that method after trying all of the things you wanted to suggest due to a myriad of reason. ^^;
Grain cart in upper deck. It’s obviously over-width and based on the sleeper on the truck (full condo), it’s over-height. Also, guessing the upright tractors, which are taller than the wagon, are also very over-height. They’ll never get permits and will need escorts.
State Troopers that work this route go to Aspen for their annual Winter conferences and Andalusia Spain for their Spring trip using the fines they collect from truckers like this
Why did I expect this to be hitched to a ford ranger?
Rusty 2004 Suburban.
Nah, an old 3.8l Buick would be no problem though
Those motors are absurdly strong lol
I was over thinking and was on an F250 doing a repo man pick up trip. Apparently I forgot or underestimated the mighty Ranger
Ford fuckin RANGER!
Tacoma.
A Taco would definitely pull that, especially if it had the 3.slow engine lol.
My Ranger had the 3.slow with an automatic. What a shitpile. It took effort to build a mini truck that got 15mph.

Taco-ma?
You mean an old 70s Ranger with a 4.9L I6 300, right? Lol
If it fits, it ships. 🤙
I’m curious how they determined this was how to do it. Diecast models, trial and error, winging it? A lot of thought went into that.

And it’s so satisfying when you finally shut the doors, isn’t it?

Are you my wife?
Some of us played Tetris way too much as kids
when your livelihood is to haul stuff, you start to learn some tricks to maximize earring potential...

I don't know about the weight, and the height might be a concern, but it looks like the rigging is solid.
I didn't see any chains on the Deere though.

Wrong sub, geniuses towing things it looks like it’s actually secure
Secure yes but way overweight and not enough axels so it still fits
I figured way overweight too, so did some looking online. Couldn't tell all the models but I came up with just under 50k lbs, so maybe they were OK on total
Kinze 640 grain cart 8120
MF 393? 6500
MF 393 6500
MF ? 5500?
Deere 6420? 10500
NH? ? 5000?
MF 596 7800
- total 49920
Tractor weight est from tractordata and found manual online for the grain cart. Surprised the cart was so heavy
The John Deere is scary, the rest is potentially fine.
I think the straps for that one are behind the tire, you can see chains running up from the tires it's resting on to what looks like the axle area.
Yeah, didn't see any chains on the Deere.
Not saying they're good, but there appear to be chains over the rear axle. And they don't seem to be shy with chains, so there might be something hidden at the front of the Deere.

"We're only making ONE trip!"
Shout-out to Seminole, TX. This is prob some Mennonite shenanigans. Large Mennonite community out there.
Now that I think about it, they might be hauling all that down to Chihuahua or Cuauhtémoc.
I’ve hauled similar loads of farm implement equipment. If it fits and is secure, it ain’t idiotic
This guy knows how to ship.
slap “Thats not going anywhere.”
Not tractors, tractands.
I worry about hitting a pothole when I'm hauling my single 10K lb machine on a 14 gvw trailer. Then I see a video like this.
Until now I've never wondered if a semi truck could actually tow a load, but here I am...Â
This guy plays tetris
If it fits, it ships!
Looks "OK" if you don't cross a scale. Either the tires need air, or it might be over loaded.
I noticed that, too.
This guy packs.
Like bringing in the groceries, One Trip! lol.
As long as it stays on the trailer. If it all unravels, it’s going to be an impressive mess!
It kind of reminds me is when you grab all the grocery bags and bring it in one shot.
Tractor porn.
Where is the engine oil going in those near vertical engines?
Looks like, how I load things in farming sim.
Lmao. Exactly what I was thinking. The load straps on that game have no weight limits
Where the hell is the motor oil going in those tractors?
Down? /s
This is no idiot
Board?
Yep
Wanna Tractor stack?
Bored*
I didn’t learneded that word yet
Well now you done did bin learneded that word so no more eggscuzes.
Huked on Fonix wokred 4 me!!!
đź‘Ť
Me when I play roadcraft
Low bridge ahead!
He used every strap and chain available in a 5 mile area
Atleast 4 people died trying to load that trailer.
Wow…just wow…
They clearly couldn’t find the trailer stretcher. “A fuck it, stack it up”
When you pay by the truckload and want the most bang for your buck
Nicely loaded
Next level that is
If she fits, she ships
Can it fit under a bridge??

I have questions.
Starting with, how did they get them on there like that?
Now, give it some gas.

The grown up version of taking every grocery bag in at once
Nothing for the 100 series Cruiser
Headed to Mexico
Get all that money playa. Just be safe out there. Nobody can be mad at you except a hater
Not sure where this took place exactly but I have an inkling that this is some “Mexico Mágico.” Behold, my friends.
What’s inside that blue dumpbed in the front? More tractors?
This is what happens when the tractors get drunk and start a conga line.Â
I don’t know why we blow up so many tractors a year boss
Farm starter kit?

World's biggest game of Tetris.
Cool, now unload it!
Same way the loaded it with a rotator go to around 18 minutes https://youtu.be/m0NrB1ew5e0?si=8qN3izsKKUe8-bFm
Sick
At first I was thinking "this has to be some 3rd world country". Nope, that truck is from Texas.
I bet it's heading to Mexico
Came here to say that!
What's the difference?
Not much these days honestly.

Any chance to tear up a public road taken
Never seen that before. 1st time for everything I guess . Idiots
