So whats the most you have towed
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 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!!
Was that the factory hitch?

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

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.
