Today Euan loaded his carrier do do some work on it before sandblasting. The shed where it was stored was in a paddock still a bit wet so phase 1 was to move it to where it could be put onto the trailer.
This was done by a '3'cylinder Land-Fill. ![]() After bleeding brakes and generally fettling up an old trailer it was loaded using a Dawn hand winch: ![]() Looks like hard work: ![]() Turns out the trailer has automatic tilting (!) ![]() But of course it was just an illusion. Actually, we could have changed both back wheels at this point. ![]()

Always helpful to have some watchers:

You don't want to be in line with it when unloading. They're a lively little beast when they get moving downhill! I know that from personal experience at a loading ramp once.

Thanks for the advise David,
Used the winch on the CGT to unload the carrier today. Once off the trailer it was a job to winch carrier up the drive and into a carport for a little prep work before sandblasting. Found the land anchor from the CGT came in handy at the top of the drive.

I have hauld hundereds of things on a trailer . When you load a heavy thing you should put a block under the back of the trailer or you could bend the frame of thetrailer doing it your way .
