Well over the weekend i went to my place in upstate Ny. We have john deere 350 that needed to come back home. Well geting it up on the trailer was the hard part, truck towed it home fine 270 miles at 65 mph. The truck, trailer, and backhoe was 27,740lbs. So the trailer was 18,440lbs and the truck was 9,300lbs. I have just one picture rite now but will have more pictures and movies tomorrow. When trying to load it we had the front and rear wheels off the ground.

 

I've towed 20k lbs of brick on a 6500lb gooseneck trailer. Probaly a total weight of 34k....pulled it just fine at 65mph for 200miles. Why don't you have the trailer tow mirrors??

 

When i got the truck it had them mirrors on it. I been looking for a nice set but i dont know what ones i want yet

i helped a produce semi that had broke down and we hooked his trailer (53ft) to my 5th wheel and i pulled it about 50 mile to the plant for him so it would not be late. my truck pulled it but did not like it much. and yes the brakes on our trucks really do suck. had to down shift the auto to slow enough to use the wimpy brakes. don't try this at home!

 

That would have made a good poster to hang in the garage!!

 

20,000 lbs on a tag trailer Was that the factory hitch?

 

My guess Pat is probably ya its the factory hitch

 

im sure everybody has seen my hay pic. (if not check my gallery)

trailer and load weighs about 40,000 lbs. truck and all its around 48,000.

 

How did you get the trailer brakes to release without any air?

 

screwed the bolts in and locked them open.

 

like that wheelie in the photo.

 

didnt even notice that, ha ha ha. good eye

 

Not quite that much...

But these two are among the most, the top pic is at 23,700 lbs GVWR, the bottom is a total of 30,400 lbs, both WITHOUT factory overloads... Hey its a 3/4 ton, gimme a break LOL, theres a guy on here that towed 42K with his for over 3K miles tho, doubt ill catch him tho... anyways here goes...









Hope yall enjoy

Block the trailer wheels and the rear of the trailer. Your only going to get away with pulling that stunt so many times before something happens. Would hate to see that nice truck dinged up from a jack knife or it rolling on ya while the rear wheels are off the ground.

 

Txdiesel that 30K load looks like fun. Bet you had a clear view of the sky .
