Your towing rigs and trailers

[thehorseguy]

So I figured I better show off the new pickup, 05 dodge cummins. Making her pay herself off already

Here is our F350 hauling an old PistenBully snowcat, nordic ski trail groomer. The trailer is a PJ T8 Gooseneck 26 ft. (22 tilt + 4). No complaints about the trailer. Running a snowcat up a tilt trailer (in snow) can be a bit scare. I have some conveyor belting screwed to the decking and a pair of 4x4's clamped to the frame which prevent falling off from a lateral slide. (Snowcats love sliding sideways.)

Nice setup.

I'm guessing that chains are mandatory in your area, or are they for when you aren't hauling a trailer ?

I know a few Cummins haulers around here.... always nice to have a truck help pay for itself.....

Curious about the trailer.... what do you haul ?

Do you need a commercial license with a trailer over 10k in California?

Makes sense... I'm still trying to figure out all the requirements since my brother is looking at bigger stock trailers for the farm and what exceptions there are.

I have asked two different Highway Patrol officers the same question and received different answers...

Well gotta show my latest, but it's a rolling chassis currently, until I get the sheet metal on the bed.

 

[ultrarunner]

Looks like you have the same tire/rims on tow vehicle and trailer...

3000 ish birds at 1/2lb per bird, and 100 gallons of water, in a all steel 38 foot trailer.

The chains are for pulling the trailer back up our driveway, and for maintaining control going down one icy hill between that trailhead and our place.

I was thinking birds, but had never seen a trailer quite like that before. Neat job, and cargo.

At least with birds, if you are parked on a scale, you can bang on the side of the trailer and temporarily lose some weight !

Some form of metal makes a big difference. I wish studs were legal here.

Aluminum flatbed made by XP truck trays. We are someday going to put a pop-up camper on it.

Not many people go for the extended cab these days, but we sure like 'em.
