No, it wouldnt take the weight of an M3 or M5 Stuart I am afraid. And I
doubt you would get both a Ferret and Dingo on together - these trailers are
quite short.

Hmm. A ferret, a dingo, both would fit. What about a M3 Stuart?

This trailer is just about exactly what I need for the 5 ton to
properly haul the Ferret or Dingo around on. Too bad, I'm paying
Uncle sam a large amount of money before I can buy any more MVs.
