I hope it was just now loaded. Only held to the trailer by gravity. Looks like a crossways mark behind the trailer about where the ramps would hit the road, but I don't see dozer tracks.

The posted operating weight is 17.5k so probably right at the maximum capacity of the trailer. The brakes on my comparable trailer are good. Assuming his are equal that’s not a problem. His F250 probably is a problem.

It’s a 24.9 trailer. F350. I was moving it on my own property the other day. Just thought I’d show it for fun. The brakes and lights aren’t attached.

And you didn't strap those buckets down in front.

Tisk, tisk.

Nice looking setup. I'm going to have something similar to your dozer on my property next year... for about 3 days, with an owner/operator who knows what he's doing.

 

[lucky llama]

Thanks. The dozer is a lot of fun.

Wile E. Coyote would be proud.

I love how the bed rails are running front to back instead of side to side, and they are beside the hitch instead of under it. Then where the hitch would go through the rail he has a bolt going through the trunk, so somehow he must have a bolt or plate or something going into the side of the rail or under it maybe? This guy may be Wile E. Coyote and MacGyver's love child!

If they substituted the plastic castors for some harbor freight pneumatic ones you’d pretty much have a service truck.

$3,000 for the toolbox, $20,000 worth of tools inside and they can't spend fifty bucks to rent a uhaul to move it inside of?

My guess it was divorce/breakup and it "Has to leave now or it won't be here when you get back" type thing.

You're generous, I figured they stole it.

Ahhhh, that's where the saying "drive it like you stole it" came from. :thumbsup:

I saw this at the border crossing between Botswanna and Zimbabwe a couple days ago.

Heavy load for a bobtail single screw truck.

Looks like a great candidate for this thread's crappy tie-down of the month award. Those ratchet straps are run across some pretty sharp edges. Should be using chains.

Hanomag 50E without wheels. 13 ton minus two. 11 ton on a 19 ton truck. The chassis-cab weighs 7.5 and the bed i guess three. Its 15% overloaded.

Has anyone ever seen a motorcycle couple with the woman riding in front?



BRuce

Yup, great big gal on a Honda dresser. She was probably upwards of 400ish lbs and middle age. Guy was probably 120lbs soaking wet and pushing 90. Thinking she was giving her grandad a ride around the block judging by the big grin on his face.

The scariest I've seen since we are on the subject. The 400lb guy that used to ride around town on a little vespa scooter. Got stuck behind him a couple times and it wasn't a pretty sight Not sure how he didn't get friction burns from the rear tire :yuck:

How about this. Overweight, about 2 inches from being over-height and looks like it is tied down really nicely (not).

And extremely tail-heavy, no?

Oh yeah, definitely. It should be loaded with the tracks closer to the cab and the boom to the back. Well, it should be loaded in a proper truck in the first place.
