I did something like that when I loaded an airboat onto a trailer. I'd done it many times, maybe a hundred times, without a problem.

Its a bad feeling having a 454 spinning at about redline (to dry-load, you need power) and have the whole shebang sway hard to port. I wish I'd gotten a picture of one of my lesser moments.

That's my quad, I was on the quad while my neighbor loaded the boat he said he pulled the drain plug, which he did but not on the bilge just the live well.

As long as the quad four wheel drive works you should be good to go.

My dumbass excuse was that I had a boatload of equipment and also two ice chests full of chilled samples and about 3 inches of water because the bilge pump was shorted for the 5,000th time and I don't like getting in the cage with the prop while the engine is hot. A smart person knows to unload and pump the bilge before loading.

A wise person learns from having screwed-up!

Med.. do the rear wheels hit the ground when you get on?
