When I read the original post I thought certainly safety or design limits but be exceeded somewhere. Overloading a machine can exceed tire limits (been there-done that), bearing/gear teeth loading, stability from the free surface effect of the water, and just general wear and tear on a machine not designed for what it is being used for. Just putting a load like this on a hill with uncertain traction makes me cringe. I saw one machine flip like that. Being an engineer, it made me think about this situation. Actually the above was not the point I was trying to make. We can all figure that out for ourselves.

However, I just came across an ad for a pto driven trailer that was used to haul a few cords of wood and thought that it would be a safer solution to hauling a heavy trailer over soft ground considering it is made to supply it's own traction. I have never seen one of these. Has anyone ever used one? I can see a few problems with it such as gearing.
