I hate to jump in late on this topic. Seems a little beat to death, but I do have one story to share.
I recently had to go rescue a friend from a stupid mistake. He had a 3/4 ton diesel and a 14,000 lb deck over goose neck. He was hauling a 560 with a loader. Probably 9000lbs sitting on the trailer, maybe 10,000 lbs. Anyway, he was probably safe in theory. The problem was that he hadn't performed maintenance on the axles like he should have. He was on a rough road, the trailer started bouncing a little and the next thing you know the bearing let loose on one axle and the wheel fell off. About that time the other tire on that side blew out. Hard to say exactly what happened next, but he nearly rolled the whole unit in an attempt to get pulled over to the shoulder.
We ended up reloading on my trailer on the side of the road, which also was not fun. His trailer was trashed, the frame was tweaked.
He lived through this to tell the story, but the point is that even when using the right equipment things can go wrong. That was a over a year ago and he still won't haul anything.
