I don't think it was more than 4000 lbs ;-) Anyway my friend with the loader don't understand when I say "half a ton" never did. We even have one guy that is even worse so that trailer has been through heavier times. But it was actually the bolts that unscrewed themselves.
	That road is actually only curves everywhere except where the trailer stood. I'm really glad there's almost never any traffic since the fender flew high and landed on the road. Anyway I almost never has anyone up close in the rearmirror :-0.

Mattias,  do you think that maybe having 6000 lbs of stone on a 2000 lb axle
had a little something to do with that??   With all the traffic and curves
on that road I don't know how you ever got it fixed.  grins.
