We have the oppurtunity to buy a 24' gooseneck livestock trailer. It is an '87 Moritz with a dry weight of about 3850#. It doesn't have brakes, and we need to haul it from his farm in Ohio to ours in Maryland. Not too sure how far exactly, but I'm guessing at least 300-350 mi. Do you think we could do it? By that time the truck a hauling it will be a new 3/4 ton diesel Ford or Chevy.
He said he also has forklifts and loaders that can assist in loading. We have an 18+5 trailer. Do you think it would be better to put it on there? Thanks in advance to any replies!
