Well, since it was touched on, I might as well tell the rest of the story. See, Neither Dad or I have a "heavy" trailer- he just has a 5x8 utility trailer. I have been borrowing tandem car/machinery trailers from family and friends for a few years. And, I've always had good luck. Maybe I was just taught how to load a trailer properly. My Intended use: to haul either the 2 Super C's or my 450 to a show if desired, and the usual: miscellaneous lumber and etc. So, with the tractors I intend on moving, I'd need a 10K to 12K trailer, anyway. I figure that the $3500 or so spent on a new bumper pull equipment trailer is better spent on a good used gooseneck that is more than adequate for my needs. Overkill? yeah, but I like it that way. I do believe I have adequate truck: I bought a '97 Chevy k2500 with 6.5 diesel the other year, for this intended trailer purchase. It's the 8,600 GVW truck, with full floater rear axle and such. It's Basically a 1 ton, just rated as a 3/4. It's pulled everything I've hooked to it so far: Just not on a gooseneck trailer.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? 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
