Is anybody familiar with the 1/4 ton military trailers?
I have one (M416) that came with my M151 jeep. It has served no purpose other than occupy shed space the entire time I've owned it.
I have been hauling water to our semi-newly planted trees for the last 2 1/2 months using tap water hauled in a garden tractor trailer using a mixture of 2 1/2, 5, and 23 gallon containers.
I'm sick of it.
Two miles away is a creek where I can load water. I want to put a poly tank and pump in this otherwise useless trailer and haul water, but is the load limit really a 1/4 ton?? I am hauling almost 50 gallons in that garden cart. To make this worthwhile, I think it needs to haul at least 100 gallons, preferably more. FWIW, 100 gallons is 830 lbs; 200 gallons is 1630 lb.
Vets (I am not one): How much have you carried on one of these little trailers with no ill effects?
Thanks.
