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.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
