In Reply to: O/T trailer question posted by FC Andy on January 18, 2012 at 10:00:58:
I'm with Ron Mo on this and maybe because Missouri guys think alike sometimes. I have a new super heavy duty 4 wheel drive 1/2 ton GMC with a towing capacity of 8K. I also have an 18' w/dovetail bumper hitch trailer. I know the limitations of my truck and do have an overkill on the twin axles as they are each rated at 5K (both w/brakes). I would never consider hauling anything heavier then my Super C or 240 except maybe a lightweight H with my truck. My step son has a one-ton Dodge diesel w/dual axles and his trailers are all bumper hitch pintel type which I have used for heavier loads and find that works well for me. Those trailers are used in his construction business and he hauls backhoes and other similiar heavy equipment. From being around folks with the GN trailers they are better suited for the heavier loads and also more manuverable when backing or parking. Also, like Ron stated, I find my smaller tilt trailer used far more as it hauls everything except the tractors. You just have to justify the extra $$'s will be appropriate for what you plan on hauling. I trust your truck is at least a very heavy duty 3/4 or 1 ton to even consider that trailer, Hal.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
