I don't have any advice, but I'm interested in the same thing. I've got a receiver hitch and a 8000 lb. trailer. I use is for farm tractors and a few small crawlers I have. I've been paying to get my bigger stuff hauled. Just recently I called the guy I usually use that had a big International straight truck with a tilt-bed. I wanted to hire him to bring my relatively small backhoe up to some land I have in the Adirondacks for the summer. It weighs around 11,000 lbs. He told me he got rid of his big truck and now does his hauling with a F350 and a gooseneck trailer. So, it got me thinking. I've got a F250 Ford, 8600 lbs. GVRW with 6.9 diesel. So, instead of paying $350 every time I need to haul the hoe, maybe I'm better off getting a gooseneck trailer myself? I've got three other trucks with Chevy 6.2 diesels, which I love - got almost 500,000 miles on one of them - but they are too underpowered to pull that kind of weight up mountain roads. I'm justing wondering how safe I'm going to be (or feel) pulling a load over 10,000 lbs. I've got an Allis Chalmers HD4 dozer, a Deere 1010 crawler/loader, and an Allis Chalmers HD6 I'd like to move once in awhile also. I suspect my other two hoes are to way to heavy - my Pettibone Mulithoe weighs 16,000 lbs. and my Case 580CK ??

Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
