My truck handled the 22 bales easy. With brakes on 2 of the 3 axles I had no braking issues. The shorter trailer I use now also has brakes on both axles. My 4 horse slant load w /LQ also has brakes on both axles but it's only a 30 footer. I've never found anything unsafe about any of them and there's no sense in spending money on something if you only use it a couple weeks out of the year. You see diesel pickups going up and down the road I live on with 18 and more bales on a daily basis. Nobody thinks anything of it. With brakes on more than one axle and something other than an el cheapo 50.00 controller for the brakes there just aren't any issues.

 

You take the cake!! LOL

 

i think i better get the rubber boots out

 

I just saw this in todays NewsLeader.


:::::::::::::::::::::FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE::::::::::::::::::::

Prime Trucking is canceling all orders for their Peterbilt over the road tractors....

They will be replacing thier fleet with 08 Dodge 1 tons...

 

thats hilarious

 

I had to say something LOL You all act like your 5. ( My daddy can haul more thin yours. Shut up Stupid, or my daddy is going to kick your daddys butt) You guys are funny

 

just about to post the same thing... there for a minute i thought i was on the ford website

 

............

 

hell i didn't know we was having a d*** measuring contest. i like to hear about some of the stuff people haul that's a bit ridiculous. i have a picture i'll put on here for those wanting to call b.s. it's square bale though. mike, that was my dad you saw that day. a day cab pete isn't very heavy though. less than a backhoe, d4, or road bore machine we haul around. and that would be a good move if Prime changed to the dodge instead of the pete. things would be less expensive to fix.

 

just pokin fun...

i'll be in your neck of the woods first weekend of turkey season... don't blow my doors off

 

I've got a picture of a load of square bales somewhere. Oh and yes I had brakes to stop with. Two 12k axels with vac/hyd DISK brakes. After I loaded the farmer I picked the hay up from was asking how I stoped so I said ride to the scales with me. Got going about 60 and hit the brakes, his only comment was "I hope no one was behind you".

 

Huntin round the ville are ya? I will try not to road hunt then!!
