I don't know how much that dirt weighed, but the empty trailer tows heavier than my small fifth wheel camper trailer when I towed it home with my '95.

I was having a little fun in the wet grass. I asked my son if he was jogging in place while taping or if the rumble of the mighty cummins was shaking the ground. I definately won't be nicknaming him tripod.

 

hmm..pretty cool

But next time put it in 4x4 to begin with, then you will find all the dirt would come out then you wouldn't have to lift it twice!! Throw it in 4low and creep foward after you get the box up and life will be much better..

 

haha pre-boost smoke with teh 21cm lagmaster!!! lol

Nice trailer man, that thing is neat

 

I like the RamCharger and that is sure a nice trailer.

Those trailers are handy, but the tail can quickly start wagging the dog, especially with a load of rock.

If you load them like they were a tandem dump-truck (and the bed will hold that much if you put it in there), things will soon start bending that shouldn't, like trailer tongues and truck frames.


Just a little safety note :

Please never ever ever never climb over a trailer tongue, ever, nor go between a gooseneck and the truck, never, as it is a good way to get killed.

It may be farther, but always walk around.

In my driving career, I have personally knocked down two different people that decided to dart between the gooseneck and truck as I was starting to move; neither was hurt any more than deflated ego and a few skinned places, but both could have just as easily been killed.

 

Hehe it was in 4 low, but the grass was wet and the tires are all but bald. The problem is that the rear of the trailer hits bottom hard and the truck only weghs about 5500# with no doors or glass or tail gait or carpet or... Of course the twenty loads I did before I got out the camera, I was able to pull forward to dump plowing a trench in the sod. Then it started raining...

Yeah, I like the trailer, too bad it's not mine. By the way, no lagmaster here. Got the 16cm housing. I have the smoke screw turned back one turn on the m&h pin from too much smoke. By too much smoke, i mean I lost an h2 hummer in black cloud at a stoplight and decided I was headed for trouble

Yeah, I wouldn't want to tow that trailer down the road with half the weight with the short wheelbase rc. I was just moving dirt from one place on my property to another 300' away.

As for the safety advice. Thanks for that. Of course I stayed away from under the box when it was up and the only reason I hoped over the tongue is because the back of the trailer box was burried in the ground so I knew it could not roll and I was the only person near the truck so I knew nobody could try to move it. But you are right, I set a bad example So to all you kiddies out there, don't do that at home. Heck, I was even ready to bolt away in case the load went haywire and it started to tip sideways or lift the back of the truck.

 

i could have brought over the real dumptruck. looks like you had fun thou.
