I'm a little disappointed that no one chimed in on my post about excavators, but I guess most of you just don't deal with them.
Let me try one more related theme. How big a truck (dump size) do I need to haul such a creature?
The combined trailer & load would be about 25,000#. It is easy to find GVWR's for trucks, but the GCWR, which speaks to the COMBINED wt a truck n trailer can handle is more elusive.
Some people say I need a tandem to pull so much wt. But others say a 33,000 GVWR single axle truck (such as the state hyway type snow clearing vehicles often auctioned, International S1900, et al) will do just fine. I attached a picture of one of those for reference.
And yes, I am getting a CDL.
Can anyone lend some guidance that I can get my teeth into?
Thanks!
