Your towing rigs and trailers

[DavesTractor]

Here is my trailer and the back half of my 2006 Dodge dually. I was delivering a Mahindra 6500 4x4 with 511 backhoe and a bunch of implements. Big load.

my pulling rigs,
07 gmc sierra v-max, 16,500 gcwr, 6.0, displacement on demand
07 yukon denali 6.2 liter, 6 speed auto trans, active fuel management

denali gets better mpg than the truck

heres my tow/trailer 04 2500hd silverado and 16ft 7k trailer. hauls my 790 and other oldies no problem. also fits about 130bales of hay nicely on the trailer.

 

[Slacker]

2001 2500 HD. Hudson 7K lb 16' trailer. Hauls a Farmtrac 360 TLB, close to 5K lb tractor w/loader/BH and loaded rears. I wish I had a longer trailer and a bigger truck, but it gets the job done. Looking through this thread I see alot of folks in the same boat as me.
ETA: the wife does NOT allow me to keep the truck/trailer in HER driveway.

Here is my 2003 Dodge and 32 foot hay trailer. I also pull a 20 foot livestock trailer.

Holy crap! what is the weight of that trailer an load. The truck looks mini compared to the trailer. Those round bales are huge. You guys have some great pics. I'm suprised at the number of small trailers being used. I thought I'd see lots of 20' plus trailer being used by you guys. I'm trailer shopping now and I'm looking at 22 footers. I figure my tractor is 20' from bucket to hoe and I'm sure I'll want to take other attachments long with me.

14 bales on the trailer @ 1000lbs per??...makes a nice 7 ton load...

 

[mlauk]

Those are big 4x6 rolls, probably 1200 lbs+ each. Most 4x6 rolls I carry leave 2 foot of empty trailer on the end. The trailer has 12K axles and probably weighs 7-8K.

clenhart, I know its slightly off topic but how do you like that Bestop soft truck cap?
Ive been shopping for a truck and I'll need a cap and am considering the Bestop. Hows the fit and ease of raising/lowering? Is a passthrough front window an option? Hows it seem to be holding up?
TIA, Ray

RayH,

I love it... I bought it last year right before a vacation to Colorado for additional storage room while 4-wheeling in the mountains. I haven't taken it off since. It has held up very well so far and does a good job of keeping all the wet Louisiana weather on the outside. I did not see an option for a pass-thru window (would be nice though). The only drawback I can think of is, it gets pretty stiff and is sometimes tough to un-zip in the cold, but that is not very often a problem down here...

Sounds good. I own a couple softop Jeeps so I understand the stiff material and uncooporative zippers in the winter. My biggest concern is that I need some type of roof rack to transport my kayaks and canoe. Thats easy with a fiberglass cap but Im not sure how I would accomplish it with the Bestop.
