Speaking Of Towing

Passed a feller the other day that was moving his 1086 or 1486 down the highway with what I assumed was a 14K lb gooseneck trailer.

Bless his heart, I know he was just trying to get it home; he was certainly going slow and he was being very careful.

But my word! That thing looked like the tail could easily wag the dog! Darned tractors seem to get awfully big when loaded up. :>(

For sure that's a load on a pickup. But I've been party to worse. Good friend of mine has an '03 Dodge 3/4 ton with the 6 speed, heavy duty, all that crap. He pulls a tri-axle gooseneck with that thing. On that trailer, he's had my D4H cat which would score about 26000 # with the forestry package and the mud it usually carries. I didn't know until after he moved it that there wasn't a brake on the trailer.... Truck handled it well though. Just for safety's sake though, he normally uses the old Mack with the float, but the dodge does do in a pinch. Hear ya in the scary loads though. Take care.

I don't like towing my smallest tractors. Keep thinking they're gonna crawl down my collar 'er something. :>(
