[AT] FEL Question

[charlie hill]

To late to try it now but I wonder
what would have happened if he
had let the bottom of the bucket rest on the trailer
bed before he tried to roll it back.  My guess
is that would have taken enough weight off
the system to allow it to tilt.

Really? The main left worked enough to raise it above the trailer floor by a
few inches.

Interesting.


Thanks
