When this guy turned the corner onto our road with a heavy spec. tri axle tractor, about as long as the trailer, I figured no way! We have a curved driveway lined with Oaks and Beech. I figured he would drop it near the road and I'd be on my own for the last 300'. Really unbelievable driving to get in and out. The photo doesn't show that.
The drive loops back out to the road for the log trucks to pull straight through, but they pull a pup. More of a straight shot that way but there is quite a hump. Tried that first, but the rise combined with an all night rain made it too greasy and he got stuck. Not good... I took a breath as he got out of the cab. He put the tractor in neutral, set the trailer brakes, and slid the trailer axle forward, inch worming the tractor out of the greasy spot, alternating setting the brakes on the tractor, moving the axle, then axle brake moving the tractor. Then, after doing a walk through of the other entrance, backed out and snaked down the tree lined drive with two 45* curves, and nosed in the wood lot where the trailer is in the photo. Then a three point turn backing up into the other section of drive to turn around, and is in the photo, backing in where he is going to drop. It all went unbelievably smooth.
I kept the dog in the garage during delivery. She was a bit surprised to find this in her wood lot. I think I'm going to block it up so she can get under it, and keep critters out from under it, like skunks and woodchucks. The driver said woodchucks love them.
