Tractor was fine, not a scratch on it. We always haul it on that trailer the same way as it was on there Friday night, so we arent really sure what happened. The coupler on that trailer has never been my favorite as sometimes it is a pain to make sure it is latched but if you can get the keeper pin in, it is locked. You just never know what might happen.

Thats good news on the tractor. I do alot of bushhogging and am pulling a rig like yours all the time. Im always checking everything, but you just never know.
I lost a boat and trailer on the Memphis 240/I40 interchange one time. When I finally got bac to the trailer, it had a 3 inch scratch on the fender where it hit the guard rail. It was sitting on the right side emergency strip of the highway just like I had parked it there.

That was amazing no one got hit on the interstate!! You were very lucky!!
We have had them come aloose before, but luckily the safety chains held on all those occasions. My favorite one was the time I was pullling a 20 ton pintle hitch behind a dumptruck and the pintle broke and I had a backhoe on it. It darted left and right but the chains held it. The only damage was in my underpants!!
