Very nice trailer.
I do have the 4:10 gears in my truck, as far as the trailer goes they call it a 24k trailer, I assume they are considering pin weight as a factor in them rating it that high, this is what I consider it, the trailer has 2-10k super single axles with 17.5 tires, therefore I consider my carrying capacity to be somewhere around 13,000lbs. Will I put a little more than that on it when hauling hay out of the field, probably so.sweet trailer! I'm in the market. Assuming u have 4.10 grears like me, does this weight mean you have a carrying capacity of 6,620#s?

Absolutely, I'm going to exceed the limit on my truck from my hayfield to the barn which is a little less than a 1/4 of a mile. There is a man who buys hay from me who comes about 70 miles and he has me stack 26 round rolls on his trailer and his truck is a Chevrolet 2500 HD a few years older than mine except his is a diesel and he makes the trip 4 or 5 times a year.Our trucks are rated to tow a max of 14k lbs. your trailer is using up more than half that capacity empty?
Am I understanding right? If you trailer 13k you'll exceed your trucks capacity by around 6k, right?
Right on... Yeah, I would t worry about that use case.
Plan on pulling your 5093e? Guessing that with loader and cutter is over 10k, plus trailer around 18k?
I would put it on the trailer and haul it if I need to, like to carry it to the shop to get it worked on or whatever, it does have loaded tires and a FEL so you are probably about right, I imagine it weighs in excess of 11k. Most of my hauling besides the work here on the farm will be me hauling my smaller tractor over to my hunting/fishing camp to mow and or push and clear, it's about 100 miles over there.Right on... Yeah, I would t worry about that use case.
