Gonna pick my new roadster up this coming Fricay. First real break inthe weather.
Doc, thanks for tryin' but it looks likeI'm gointo do it with my current trailer.
Two 6500 Axles, one with electric brakes. Designed to carry 10, 500 lbs net load weight. The unit is 9,450 Lbsand the backhoe is 1,500. I am justover design limits. But if I load the tonge with about 1,500 of it I should be fine.
For historical reference ( or histerical stupidity) I have had four 2,800 Lb loads of block on the trailer with another one in the bed of the one ton Dodge. Total of 14,000 lbs load and the 3,000lbs of trailer. It was a scary but uneventful trip from Des Moines to my house.
I did 23,700 GVW twice from Altlanta to St Louis using this equipmet. Again scary but I survived an uneventful, albeit stressful, 12 hour drive.
Mostly, I worry about Black ice on I-55.

REAL TRUCKS HAVE DUALLY WHEELS, MANUAL SHIFTERS AND SAY "CUMMINS" ON THE SIDE.
ANYTHING ELSE IS A PEECUP
