Tractor / trailer combo. I can't take credit for the deer hoist idea. I had a buddy in camp that came up with the idea and said it was "redneck ingenuity." It was pretty epic.

Without the backhoe, I could maybe back the tractor in and lay the bucket on the floor. Dump trailers do not make the best equipment trailers. They work....but a 20-24' flatbed would be ideal. If I want to move tractor and a couple implements, it is a two step process due the amount of room I don't have.

Is your bucket resting on the front of the trailer, or is it propped up?I have loaded both with and without the jacks and they do make a difference with heavy equipment. I have loaded the side by side without being hooked up to the truck and I feel they are a must at that point. Resting on the front of the trailer.

I do like that the MAXX-D has the rear stabilizer jacks, as I imagine it makes the process a little less sketchy.

If you're loading equipment in there, be sure and set your parking brake and block the tires to protect your transmission.
