To be fair to the guy it was probably wet and he was loading back first to keep weight off the drawbar and trailer sinking and not being able to pick it up. He should have stopped when drawbar lifted and he put last bale over axle and put bale on front.

To be fair it wasn't just one error of judgement that resulted in the trailer hurtling down the field, there was a whole series of errors there. If this was my equipment/field that operator would be in neither again.

His recovery attempt wasn't the best!
Could have put a bale at back on ground to stop it rolling or put a bale down on front of trailer to tip balance forward.
Nice of the other chap to film it and share it on internet.

The guy doing the narrating is a bit of a miserable twunt...... how hard would it have been to move out of work and block the trailer before it got out of control?
some people just love seeing others fudge up.

Can't just fire someone, you have to give verbal and written warnings. They will say you hadn't given them adequate training in the job they were asked to perform.
Be aware!

I always put the handbrake on when it’s wet slight movement forwards or backwards is normally what sinks the trailer shoe

Not a good idea to try and stop it with the tractor though you’d end up breaking something else

We've one trailer with a sh!t shoe, it goes over balance and hook ends up in ground if its pushed forward or backwards. Normally last bale!
Use handbrake on trailers with air brakes, would be seized on others.

when it was shifting some I agree but any sensible person would have been on it before it got that bad. One thing that grinds my gears is people that will moan about others when they're no better, maybe even worse, themselves.

Especially when bales can easily weigh over 700kg now be very stupid to try block that with your tractor
