This is the one that got me the most attention and most trouble. What a piece of junk to haul. Thing shifted all over the trailer. I hate boats. I will never pull someone elses trailer unless it is brand new. Oh, and I got stuck going through a toll both in whatever that tunnel is that goes by Baltimore. That one was my fault.



This one doesn't look like much but its a 16 or 18 foot all steel dump truck bed.




This is what I'd like to try to make pay the bills some day maybe

Really cool loads.....all I have is picks of my trailer with old dented up car parts as high as I can stack it....still don't weigh nothing...This was around 2800 pounds, without trailer. I've gotten better at using the hoods as side extensions so I can pile it in deep. This load I got for next week will be good, body panels, engine blocks, mountain of brake rotors, bumpers....yeah, it will take some thinking to get it all loaded. I'll snap a picture of the pile on the ground and then one after it is loaded for my gallery....I'm actually wondering how I'll get it all on there.....

Here's one of my heaviest...somewhere in the neigborhood of 36-38000lbs, depending on how much fluid was in the tires of the tractors



Here's another one... scaled in at 33,100lbs



Here's the one that got the most "looks"

Also hauled a bigger combine on the 30' trailer once, that really sucked BAD!!

I really like the DD clutch when I'm loaded heavy...1st gear, and slip the clutch out! My clutch has almost 100K miles on it, and is still fine

I think I need to go out to a construction site tomorrow with 4 old junky tires and wheels, put them on my trailer and then load a D8 on the trailer, take a picture and then swap the flat tires on the trailer off for the good ones and hope my axles are not bent to bad to make it home! Then come home and post the pic......

Ohhhh, a D8 is only 74,000 pounds.. I checked in my little black Cat book and a D6 is around 34, 000 pounds!! Holy Cow!! Yeah, either one of those would make my trailer A LOT shorter!!!

Well 2 of them most guy's will get. But I'm thinking the one in the middle people will guess wrong. No one from PA to St. Louis has got it right. I still haven't heard anybody get anything exactly right.
