Your towing rigs and trailers

   / Your towing rigs and trailers #271  
Mine is a modest stock set up.
It's a 16ft 7500lb Carson trailer with electric brakes towed by a 2008 Chevy 2500 HD.
I added "D" rings for chain ratchets, a couple spare tires and a tool box. I've used it for moving stuff up to my property. Although I did use it to pick up my wife's 284 Jinma and a bunch of implements, I don't use it move the big Kama. One picture shows it unloading a steel table after I blocked up the trailer bed.

Towing the classic way here, 1984 GMC diesel, 55K original miles, freshly rebuilt 6.2L detroit diesel w/ main stud girdle, ballanced and blueprinted, ARP head studs, Mahle teflon coated and ceramic capped pistons rated for turbo charging, but running normaly aspriated still for now. I pull a 7x14 landscape trailer with rear and side loading, my wife and I haul 2 large garden tractors to shows and plowing events. Usualy have the 2 tractors, John Deere 316 and Cub Cadet 782d, plus 2 moldboard plows and associated stuff on the trailer. I pull the hills slowly, but we get there all the same, no fancy high doller computers or injectors under the hood. Temp gauge never gets past 195 on the longest grades we have pulled so far. Truck has never seen snow or salt and was garage kept till I got her. I dont plan to drive it in the snow unless I really really have to. Our Grand Cherokee can also tow if need be. Cheers Mike
