It was too much weight. I don't think you should be concerned about the
gooseneck, provided you're got enough truck (1 ton dually minimum).
However, a tandem axle rated at 7,000lb ain't gonna get it. Either
rent/borrow the right equipment, or pay someone to do it.<
Oh, boomers are binders, I've never heard them called boomers. Learn
something new everyday. =
My trailer's got two 6000 lb axles but it only has an 18 ft bed. It shoul=
d
be good for about 12 K GVW. The trailer weighs 3000-3500 lbs itself. I
think the truck will work ok, Chevy 1 ton dually with a 454 and 4:10 axle=
=2E =
Perhaps I should just try to load up the truck and see how it goes. No h=
ot
rod stuff obviously. I've had a 7200 lb truck on the trailer before and =
it
had no problem with that. I'd probably stay off the eway and stick to
state 55 mph highways. You don't happen to know how long an XM211 is
overall do you?? Also is a 6x6 front heavy or pretty much balanced fron=
t
to rear. I'm a bit concerned about getting enough tongue weight with a
truck that long.
Thanks,
Dave
