Nice trailer, 32' or 34'? The weight savings on the bed between the wheels goosenecks vs. the deckovers is really nice!

How does it tow? What's your loaded weight? What's your top speed without overheating?

With stock truck it can go 60 mph, weight I don't know but do know shipping container is 9000 empty another 1000 or two for the gooseneck I built and the axle assembly. I could of swore it registered at 13k on the scale in Washington state. Tows beautifully to point I didn't even know it blew any of the 5 tires out on the trip of 2800 miles. Top speed going up mountains varied 30 mph and up.

Got any interior pictures?

Spud Monkey · Oct 15, 2013

I got video of the interior but no pictures. Also isn't all the way complete still got more electrical to put in, more plumbing and well bunch stuff though I have lived in it for month at time so far when in Washington. Right now in Texas and can't work on it till I go back up there.

I hauled the tractor up to the mountains and some walnut logs home. Im looking into getting some airbags in the future.

UnrepentantSinner · Oct 16, 2013

Pulled this load about 600 miles last week. 30 blue spruce in 32" balls and 30 austrian pines in 34" root balls. HEAVY!

Heavyhaul · Oct 16, 2013

So your saying just the load on the trailer weighed 45,000 min. That would put your CGVW a little over 60,000. I dont think so.
You must have meant two separate loads.

Go back and read that he had 60 trees that were 32"-34...So say about 650-700 x 60 would be 39000-42000 plus the trailer weight...Still really heavy...not sure that was HP approved..LOL

UnrepentantSinner · Oct 16, 2013

It was one load. 3 across on the bottom row (I wanna say 13 rows front to back) and 2 stacked on top. It was heavy, stopping wasn't too bad, but you could tell something was back there. I made sure to bypass the scales on I70, wasn't sure that they would approve.

I did blow out the right side Air Lift airbag just south of Kansas City, not sure if that was the weight or if airbags were just getting old.

The ole 7.3 didn't have a problem cruising 70mph, pretty good considering its got 305k miles on her!

Im not that far off of what it shows. 30 with 32" balls and 30 with 34" balls. Call them all 32" balls and average the two weights from the low side to the high side 28-32 650 32-36 850. I went 750 average and got 45,000. Thats what most semi's haul using your weight or mine.
I think its bs.

I still call bs on the weight or your just lucky you didnt kill someone. If the load was 39,000 thats still CGVW of 54,000. That trailer will be near 7,000 and I bet that truck is 8,000.
