A detachable auxiliary load-carrying apparatus for mobile equipment includes first frame structure fixed to the mobile equipment, second frame structure detachably connectable to the first frame structure and having at least one pair of wheels rotatably mounted thereon, a rod and retaining pin for detachably connecting the first frame structure to the second frame structure, and a frame tilting hydraulic ram on the mobile equipment for varying the distribution of weight between wheels on the mobile equipment and the wheels on the second frame structure by tilting a rearward portion of the mobile equipment. The apparatus further includes a member fixed under the rearward portion of the mobile equipment for pivotably supporting the rearward portion of the mobile equipent on the second frame structure, and one or more steel plates on opposing sides of the second frame structure for holding the pivotably supporting member above the second frame structure. When the first and second frame structures are connected to one another, the frame tilting hydraulic ram may be operated to variably tilt the rearward portion of the mobile equipment and thereby vary the load distribution between the wheels on the mobile equipment and the wheels on the second frame structure.
