WHAT DO YOU TOW?

:whs:

Yeah, and a gooseneck ;)

the Towmaster's are GOOD trailers....

DONT get airbags!!! they will prolly blow up or something with your luck!! ;) :D

It is a goose neck.:doh:

Dan

badluck how many bales is that? What size is your trailer?

txpsd said invest in a set of airbags, and I said gooseneck to be a smartazz! :doh:

You never know these days, I went to Waterloo yesterday was just north of Milan and had a loose tire come at me from the other side of 23, seems some guy lost a tire off his trailer, OOOOOPS. Luky for me Michigan can,t aford to mow the grass in the median, stoped the thing in a hurry before it got to me. I looked over to see a car hauler behind a 24 foot box truck with trailer missing a tire, LOL. I don,t think Benjamin would be too happy if his trailer got hit by a tire, He,s kinda partial to his digs on the road, LOL..

Dan

wtf mate?????

Bobbers for the REALLY big fish out in the Gulf.

i only see one there, you cant proove you towed any more then that:pointlaugh:

Here's a pic of one of the hay loads I hauled last year. Yes, I did have the jacks down in the pic but the truck was squatting about 4" going down the road.

Here's a pic of her 6.0 hauling my 7.3 to town for new rubber.

wtf? matching trucks with different engines? :D

Yeh, There's 2 pairs of matching trucks. We both have white early 90's reg. cab F-250's w/ 460's in them. And she has 2 6.0's and I have a 7.3 and an old Kenworth. Needless to say we have a lot of parking space. We also have 5 trailers.

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i263/db_everett/100_2174.jpg

These are David Bradley tractors. Taking to a show Saturday and Sunday. They are nice little tractors.

whats wrong with matching trucks???

those were before new front replacements, toolbox cb antenna's etc, only thing different is the make of the truck.

Pulled the Kobota and bush hog 50 miles to my brothers this weekend... hit a scale on the way up GVW 15500

1st time pulling anything like this on the highway more than 10 miles with the new 4" back and stack... pulled really good in the 80e setting EGT's never got over 900 and thats when i was accelerating most the time it was 600-700 with 5lbs of boost

I pulled an old '48 ford tractor last night but it was dark and I couldn't get pictures. Didn't weigh much at all, though. Still, I thought it was pretty neat. An old flat-head 4cyl

If I can ever figure out how to get my pics from the phone on ot the computer I,ll have some of the 7 horse I pull and my 2 horse .

Ok I sorta got the pics on here, this is the 7 horse. You,ll have to forgive me , but computers are not my best things to mess with.

Dan

And this would be my American Spirit 2 horse, I bought it new from Tom Rapper down in Indiana 2 years ago, and yes that Benjamin showing you his back side, LOL.

Dan:ford:

I like this one better , but the tree hides my truck.

Dan

why is the gator pulling more than the truck lol j/k nice looking rig

why is the gator pulling more than the truck lol j/k nice looking rig

Thats what I was going to say!! :hehe:

I also have a Kaufmann, I am going to keep it, I filled the center with Diamond plate, and painted it. Putting stake pockets on it, and build sides. I will have a very versatile trailer..
Here it was an open center, with dunnage for the pipe to set on... grossed out at 25,760 lbs here...

Now out of business, the Take3 42' wedge is for sale, it has 4' flip outs on the front. Pulls great,

Damn pulling some nice cars there

Nice trailers! Did Diesel prices drive you out of transporting?

My next step is to add stake pockets to my rig as well. I'll probably fabricate them out of 3-4 in C-channel(what ever fits in the original stack pockets), maybe 3-4 feet in height.

That way I'll be able to load this baby right up.

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x82/andydoaki/Jetta%20Diesel/IMG_0858.jpg

Thats what I was going to say!! :hehe:

lol, we usually pull the wagons behind the bailer. We got all the wagons full and droped the rest and then loaded them on the trailor. We though we would have to load them in the bed to but wasn't as many as we though. That day we had 430 bales. I am suprized how much that gator pull, though i don't know if it will stop it, lol

I can't stand it! You guys with all these fancy trailors towing all the toys and big loads and this is all I got.

I,d like to have a trailer like that. The deck is kinda high , but sometimes you need a deck with out fenders.

Dan

I,d like to have a trailer like that. The deck is kinda high , but sometimes you need a deck with out fenders.

Dan

We'll I don't mind the height personally, it's a standard deck over height, the only thing I do mind is the height of the goose neck itself. I would like to see the main channels about 6 inch higher so I have more clearance going off road when the trailer pivots, this way I wouldn't have to worry about hitting my tailgate, even if i adjust the hight of the hitch itself to give me clearance it will make the trailer unleveled. If I decide to the future I might be getting it re-fabed to give more clearance

The 7 horse is a tight fit on my truck when I pull out on the road or pull in because our drive goes up hill to the road.
Dan

I've seen a few custom built goosenecks for lifted trucks come out of my trailer factory, another member here was looking for one for his 8" lift

I've seen a few custom built goosenecks for lifted trucks come out of my trailer factory, another member here was looking for one for his 8" lift

That's pretty much what I'm going to have to do if and when I lift my truck, but even as it is now I wish the neck was higher for my stock height truck.

Give me a call, I gave slowleak a price quote for one with an 8" lift

Well thanks for the offer but I'll end up custom fabing my trailer if I ever get a lift on my truck

Trailerhauler.....I am looking for a gooser. PM me your company name and I will stop up on the way to Bay City next week.

My dads truck 2000 F350 PSD, only a load of mulch but that little trailer will get pretty heavey when it gets loaded up good with dirt and rock.

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m213/bareorn/DSC01387.jpg

The other trailer with its standard load.
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m213/bareorn/DSC01399.jpg

The camper, it doesn't get out much lately though. Also doesn't get towed by a psd though...
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m213/bareorn/DSC01401.jpg

Got this back when our 92 idi was having too much trouble toying our old 18k+ camper nearly every weekend. DT530 with an alison auto, I guess its only one of 3 with the sleeper before the manufacturer went out of business. Dad made the graphics and got it painted to match the current trailer.

Thanks, rest of the toys are for his house building business that he has been doing for the past 18 years or so. Poor International has maybe 50,000 miles on it or so. Only gets used for the camper or any semi long haul stuff, and the camper hasn't been out too lately, guess dad got his fill of camping. I don't think it has moved or even been fired up in the past 4 months or so :doh:

Thats a nice camper!! I bet that makes for a nice picture with that International hooked to it.

How many feet is that?

Yea I wish I could find some of the combo hooked up. Its a 37' Numar Kountry Aire. Most certainly a nice trailer, I haven't been able to spend much time in it though since they got it when I was in college and since have stopped camping for the most part :(

Here's some of a skid I hauled home this weekend on my utility trailer:pointlaugh:
I didn't have any equipment haulers around that day

How much does that 60 XT weigh ? I bet thats pushing the limits of that trailer:poke:. I haul the 35Da on our trailer we have here at work and its a load for it. I think the Tractor weighs about 4,800 with the loader on it. I,ll get a pic of it sometime.
Dan

That's a workout, I see you finally got a rear bumper....:poke:

Yeah finally got a bumper for $80 great deal, its nice to!

And yes that is definately pushing the trailers limits!! I think that skid is up around 5-6k is not very light, its got a 4B cummins in it to! :D

"Dad let me and some buddies have the keys to the International and camper for the weekend." Try that out lol

Yea that would fly really well lol, about as far as my truck would if pushed off a cliff :doh:

Here's some of a skid I hauled home this weekend on my utility trailer:pointlaugh:

Certainly looks to be a bit heavy for that trailer, not too bad though, its much more enjoyable going around with a trailer attached.

60xt weighs around 6500...

Video?????

It's floatin' around somewhere. It was at the Diesel Power Challenge. Was supposed to be only 1/8 mile but I was having so many issues I wasn't thinking correctly and pulled it clear thru the 1/4. :doh: :D

Probably still ran a better 1/4 mile time than my turd, hahaha.

Yeah he did that with a air cooled transfer case, LOL. :poke: I have that issue with the story. Danny doesn,t give up, so much so he had to go the whole way down the track, LOL.

Dan

:hehe: I want to see the video!

DanI remember reading about that. Still have it somewhere...I think

Yeah , its a good read. I still remember seeing the vid. when he did the 12.26 I think it was, that was cool. You know your making some power when you can run that fast in a 8,000 + lbs truck.

Around here the police have a field day when they see people using ratchet straps to secure equipment. Transport chains and ratcheting binders are what they want to see on skid steers, tractors, etc..

:hehe:

copier! :D


nice skid

:whs:

Thanks, want/need a 20+5 or 25+5 GN for a lot of the stuff I pick up and to be able to haul my Case 90XT around if I need to load a tractor trailer......it's a heavy pig and with the 15.50" wide tires pretty damn wide too.

Finally got to haul my tractor to a show.

:eek: if I am not mistaken that is a Minne Molene???? if so, them things are heavy!! my grandpa had 4 when he sold his farm... good little tractors!!

heavy and little eh :poke:

Tractor only weights 2300 lbs. Trailer has a 3500 lb axle on it. But it is a tight fit. I am in the market for a good car hauler.

Am I nuts to? that tractor weights 6400lbs and the trailer is rated at 7k

Well I could have uploaded the pic I took of the TC35DA on the car hauler we have here at the shop, but Sence I can,t seem to get pictures on this site you,ll just have to use your imagination. LOL. I just had the tractor and a 6 foot bush hog, the trailer needs to be a bout 4 feet longer for me to leave the loader on it or I have to put it up and hang it over the bed of the truck (bad idea ) LOL.

Dan

I wouldn't say nuts but pushing it a little yes. By 7k you probably mean that each axle is 3500lbs for a combined 7k load rating. But remember some of the weight of the load is transfered to your hitch so not all of the 6400lbs is on the axles, and even more so when the load is more forward.

This is why with a gooseneck the truck axle helps immensely to take some of the load off the trailer and on to the truck.

Yep thats what we are working towards, we need a big gooseneck $$ to fit on more to make the drive more profitable!

You said you would die to have a nice gooseneck, If you were dead it wouldn't do you any good.

Here's mine at work :D
This forum could use a little action.

I know you guys don't have these trucks just as daily commuters to a desk job. Let's see some pics of em working... :ford:

sweet setup there Traci!

I tow this and some other stuff. I ran across this old pic of my truck and trailer before any mods.

Thanks! I'd love to have a gooseneck but don't think I can manage to squeeze my truck under one lol ;)
sweet setup there Traci!

wtf mate?????
:whs:

Awesome setup Traci.

Holly crow:eek:! Did you say you were heading my way with all that hay?:Dgod d*mn i dont see how you pulled that i usually do 25K of big squares and the truck doesnt want anymore

Thanks Garrett! Took the one of truck and horse trailer today when I got home from picking my girl up. She ended up being at the equine hospital for over a week but was good enough to come home today (she started eating sat night finally). She's pretty happy now, on the mend and amazingly enough still pregnant:D 2k for the meds she needs for a couple months and probably 4k for the vet stay and people wonder why I haven't done any more mods on my truck lol
Awesome setup Traci.

Your priorities are in order.

:whs: Like you say though...Gotta pay to play!

Glad to hear she's on the recovery path again!

Dan

Well my buddy got called into work early but he should get out here shortly so we can still run up & finish this before 5pm.

Sweet! How does it feel to have her back on the road??

Feels pretty good, not the fastest thing out there but I love driving it because it feels like a tank.

Hey your gonna throw away a perfectly good peice of frame:poke: ?

As they say...."Purts is purts"
I tried to get it cut up for short steel & ended up smoking the poor grinder in the process. Then ran through the last sawzall blade, all I can tell you Ford made a real TRUCK frame. :ford:
I did get that Reece hitch off of there, it's too narrow to be used on a pickup frame but if you had a welder & wanted to play with something it would be just fine. I might be able to make you a sweet deal on it...:poke: :D

Funny guy you, :poke:

Lucky you....:poke:

We still had a good time up here though, I grossed 9960lbs with trailer, tools & scrap. Came out with 9140lbs not including the short steel & aluim in the bed of my truck. All in all a good fun day & that's what counts. :D
Happy to report as well my MPG didn't seem to change from normal, still seems like 14-16mpg that's half city & half 55mph country roads. Backing the pump off really helped out.

Only ten grand gross:poke: I had a few loads I took in that I grossed 12 and 13 thousand. Empty I was around 8980 I believe with the trailer in tow. You seen the trailer, same one the boomer is on.

Hooked the trailer up yesterday to pick up a horse.

the trailer with the race truck on it, not sure what they weigh combined, but the trailer alone is around 5600lbs. truck is 79 bronco frame, 89 ranger body, with 10point roll cage, big block, c6. I like to go fast. lol

Last trip

Nice setup you have Eric!

This is all I got. She's a big fat pig!

That's my wife's X. She's not a big fat pig!

Thats a nice setup

Thats a nice setup

Thanks. I had to get the 2 1/2 shank for the weight. Did the same on the X. The hitch works great. I run at about 75mph and no sway. :ford:

this my new trailer its not finished yet. 52ft step deck with 3ft extensions front and back. 2 tool boxes. LEDs all around and slide track with 4" winches

It should be done in 2 weeks :D

Whats going to be pulling that thing? Thats gotta be to much for a 550 to be pulling legally if its loaded

Whats going to be pulling that thing? Thats gotta be to much for a 550 to be pulling legally if its loaded

its custom made its works with the 450-550 its going to weigh around 11k lbs with my gear in it. Legally I can pull a 16k lb load with it maybe a little bit more it depends on how much weight is on the truck's rear axle with no bed and the new hitch.

-
Andrew

so you can put a 5k load on the trailer and be leagal?

that's an awfully big trailer for an f550

Looks good though!!

no....

I can put 15-16k of cargo on the trailer legally with my 550

The more deck space the more $$$ I make :D its I can haul 4 cars or a lot of freight ;)

dang that sure is a sharp looking trailer. Your gonna have to do some upgrades to get the truck to look as good lol.

thanks.... I cant wait to pick it up :D

that truck is not mine but you are right....

my truck is getting:

the bed removed

a Holland 5th wheel hitch

a headache rack with long and short range work lights

stacks :drool:

billet grille

new style headlights

and Alcoas eventually

I think its fair to say you shall be banned if you don't post pics when the truck is done :poke:

But no seriously, that will look awesome, get some pics posted once its done :D

lmao

thanks i am really excited to see the new look.

hopefully not to much smoke will get on the cargo :lookaround:

What are you going to haul on the trailer??

what ever pays good :lookaround:

rolling stock (i.e cars, trucks, golf carts, tractors, trailers), general freight, generators, A/C units, construction equipment etc....

Where are you putting in freight bids?

and you might want to save some of the money from the looks, and put it towards performance like HPOS, turbo, injectors ect. unless that's been done
or your gonna have trouble hauling that trailer loaded

there are a whole bunch of freight boards out there just don't haul cheap freight it ruins it for the rest of the people. Also the brokers are making bank on the shipments and you can negotiate a better price to haul for ... Also you need to have your MC/US DOT #s and be fully insured $100k cargo and at least $750k liability it costs a lot of money to get started up.

I am going to see how it pulls with my current setup and go from there but for sure i want to add a terminator and a bigger intercooler.

You gonna put head studs in as well?

This is a few months ago with my 01
http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w304/quadracer1014/truckslab.jpg

Thats an 8 foot by 22 foot slab of concrete 6 inches thick

yeah head studs will go in after a few months of operating need the cash to flow in first.

how much does that slab weigh?

haha i have no doubt i could beef the suspension on my f250 up to handle the loads a 450 or 550 could put on it... what worries me is whether or not my 250 would be able to stop it as efficiently as the 450 or 550 is designed to do.... lol good luck.

a exhaust brake helps a lot plus it scares the $hit out of pedestrians :lookaround:

http://powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/500/backhoe.JPG

of course it doesn't look like this anymore...


http://powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/500/lifted.JPG

Nice setup That looks good with a trailer behind it, I'm surprised it isn't sagging more though becuase of the lift

Not as big as that backhoe but this is what i hauled this last weekend. The trailer was 26' with a 5' dove... I wish it was mine but i borrowed it.

Hillsboro trailers are nice, they look funny with the hitch at an angle like that though.

Look how much more clearance you have over your bedsides than I do.

Nice setup That looks good with a trailer behind it, I'm surprised it isn't sagging more though becuase of the lift

Its actually stock springs in the rear. I get the lift from 5" blocks. It was definately squatting some, but it wasn't down to the overload springs yet, well at least not when it was parked.

Yeah it was a nice one... would like to have one like it someday

My new favorite pic of my truck... Its like it was built to have that trailer behind it

What did you weigh in at pulling that backhoe? That had to look sick rolling down the road!

What did you weigh in at pulling that backhoe? That had to look sick rolling down the road!

Not sure to be honest with you. If I had to guess, probably anywhere from 25,000-30,000lbs.

The truck is probably between 7,000-8,000lbs. The trailer is a load when there is nothing on it, I believe it is weighs more than 5,000lbs dry. The backhoe weighs roughly 14,000lbs. She was a heavy hoe but not as heavy as some.

The truck handled it fairly well, I felt bad for the BFG Allterrains that I had on it because they are load range D's. I have since upgraded to E range Super Swamper Radials. The six brakes on the trailer really help to stop such a heavy load.

:ford:

That 36' i was pulling was heavy empty also. But that load wasnt as heavy as the one in this pic.

I weighed in a the scrap yard at 27,500lbs

ya that would be a treat to load backwards. It would have been nice to have a big loader tractor.

yeah that looks like a PITA to load

Had to back it on at home :mad: Thankfully there was a big loader tractor where I dropped it off.

I could only imagine the headache that was... :eek:

Dont any of you worry about pulling those loads and being that heavy? I mean you dont have a CDL do you? I would get way to nervous to drive with that on my truck if I didnt have my CDL.

I towed this a couple times for work over the summer

Dont any of you worry about pulling those loads and being that heavy? I mean you dont have a CDL do you? I would get way to nervous to drive with that on my truck if I didnt have my CDL.

In my case, my truck was plated for "farm" use and the trailer was clearly labeled "not for hire." Where I live, in Indiana, that means that DOT can't screw with you if you are close enough to home (unless you are doing something blatantly stupid). The Farm plates really let you get away with a lot here in IN.

That being said, I have my class A CDL anyways.

Nice. thats awesome with the farm plates. I have mine to but That is just crazy if somebody pulls that much weight without a CDL.

Well this is nothing compared to you guys but...

Same here Farm plate on truck and all trailers... I don't have a CDL and I still drive semi with a hopper bottom. As long as its for farm use and you have a CDL physical its all good.

Some scary stuff like that out there. Similar, RV plates.

My dad's International 4900 there is registered as an RV here in Mass, and is used 95% of the time to tow the 5th wheel. Used to have a 42' Teton Homes 5th wheel that weighed in around 18k, so combination probably pushing 40k and about 62' long, all on a D-class. We towed that same camper for about 2 years with a 92' F350 with a 7.3L banks turbo'd idi lol :doh:

I know I have seen some class 8 tractors that are single axle and registered as an RV. No CDL needed for that.

I'll bet that boat stayed there all summer with the gas prices :D

No, No, I had a great season, but as you sumized, it wasn't cheap!!!

loaded, but way to tall/wide

That combine had to suck with loading it!! I've had some loads like that.

What did you gross with that?

The combine was only 14-15k, so 33-34k. I'm building log racks for the GN this weekend, got a bunch of slab wood to haul (300+ bundles), should be about 21-22k of wood per load. Hopefully I'll have some pics next week.

Thanks Guys!

How does it handle with the dozer behind it. I might be pulling a similar load in about a week

shoot thats only 25,000 gross right thats nothing for a one ton

How does it handle with the dozer behind it. I might be pulling a similar load in about a week
Not too bad. I just juice up the air bags a little bit and be careful on how much tongue weight is on the truck. Now on a windy day, thats another story. I would consider a dually if I pulled it often.
shoot thats only 25,000 gross right thats nothing for a one ton

I have that same Appalachian trailer, except I've put my "personal" add-ons to it and have a bunch more to do, I plan on cutting out and raising the height of the hitch, putting a second toolbox on, sandblasting and repainting (the paint is cheap on these trailers), new brakes and bearing. Pics of my trailer are on page 30 of this post. How do you like it yourself?

And by the way what permits did you have to get for a wide load? I might have to move a similar storage shed.

That looks like a great permitting service, about how long does it take to get one and general cost?

last time i got one it took 2days i think and it was under $30.00

Wow that's faster than I thought, seems like a no brainer, It's pretty great they can do it for any state.

I use Comdata for mine. They're about $30-$35 iirc. I usually order them in the morning and start calling and complaining if I don't have 'em right after lunch. :D I believe they cover all states too.

Wow i didn't know it was that easy to get a permit.

I've been wanting a gooseneck, but I think its one of those things I can buy a lot cheaper than I can build.

What does one of those Appalachian trailers run? Lets say 35' with 10k axles?

I actually got a pretty good deal on mine, paid 2700, it was 3 years old and had new tires on it. Like I said I had to add my touched to it to get it set up the way I wanted but it's a solid trailer, will haul anything fine, but as mentioned the paint is cheap, plus the wiring isn't watertight but it still works. And yes the prices went up since steel prices went up, I talked to one of the dealers who basically said the owner of the company basically employs cheap labor so that is the main reason the trailer are priced cheaper. Don't be afraid of that though, they are a put together well, not top notch, but fairly decent.

You can find all the pricing here:

I wouldn't want a trailer that big without 10k oil bath axles...


Trailerhauler can you PM me a quote on a 35' fixed gooseneck with 10k axles and electric over hydraulic brakes?

Yeah, sure can. But what do you mean by fixed?
Do you want a straight deck or a dovetail?

I think the backhoe weighs about 23k.

That's impressive, you must have a CDL to cover you for the combine weight of truck and trailer.
