Bat Wing Mower For Free! Rusty and Crusty Iron Rescue PART 1! GETTING IT HOME!

What happens here

After successfully hitching the Batwing Bushhog to the John Deere tractor, a test run of loading the bush hog onto the trailer reveals that the combined length of the tractor and bush hog is too long for the trailer. During the attempt, a hydraulic line on the bush hog bursts due to contact with the trailer's ramps. The initial plan to transport both simultaneously is abandoned. The solution is to put pins in the wings of the bush hog to raise them and reduce its width, but the overall length remains an issue.

Goal: Attempt to load the combined tractor and bush hog onto the trailer and identify issues
