Cool. I love Power Wagons. I would have had one but I wanted a higher tow rating so I went with a 2500 Laramie Sport. What's that tractor weigh that you're pulling?

Ah. Maxing the PW out then. Yeah, that's why I went with the regular 2500. I was coming from a Ram 1500 with 10K towing capacity and wanted to ensure that I had into the 12-13K range for some stuff I was planning. Besides, living in MN I'd never have an opportunity to take advantage of all the great off-road features of the PW. I hope you get to use yours like it was designed for!

Yeah was maxed out,I went from Cummins dually to PW since don’t pull as much as use too. My parents tractor had got stollen last December so took mine for them to use until they got a replacement few weeks ago or mine just stays home now days. 6.4 Hemi had plenty power it would run fast as wonted it too but I don’t get in any hurry on these FM roads.

This is my rig. 2005 Ford F-250 6.0 with 260k miles. The bed of my truck was rotting off so I built a wooden bed for it with stake sides. Its pretty handy.

Did you ever get that deckover? I have been looking at one but just have not pulled the trigger. what I have been looking for would be like a rollback wrecker but on a trailer. may have to settle on a deckover tilt with a winch.

Hi Woody,
I saw this quote from a while back and I was wondering if you ever found a rollback on a trailer. I have a need for a trailer like that but I cant seem to find any manufacturer. Any suggestions?

How's this for "rolling?" I just picked up my new M2. Gonna turn it into the RV tug.

Did some tractor work at my in-laws last weekend and picked up a load of hay.

Gee, maybe I should post my rig. Taken this summer while hauling slash to the city brush pile.

Two different trailers:

check these guys out, I had to do some things to make it my own but it has hauled everything I have put on it. Loaded a junk car just the other day and it took longer to tie it down than it did to load.

I'm curious how rear steering affects trailer use. Seems it would make backing the trailer very easy. What about in the forward direction?

I wonder which of the trailers is carrying the heaviest load?

I did forget to strap the loads down!!,,,, ??

I loaded all of those rocks by hand this past summer, it was part of my weight loss exercise program,, it worked!! :thumbsup:

Now that it is cold and wet outside,, I have to drive to the "Y" to get exercise,, not as much fun,, and I am not loosing as much weight!! :thumbdown:

Had to work down in Daytona the last 2 days. Rented a 19 Ram 2500 4x4 with the 6.something Hemi. ... this truck screws.. really surprised at how well it drove and had tons of power. No trailer behind me but I suspect it would handle one fine. Drove it about 400 miles in 2 days and it got about 15mpg. Highway was 75/80mph and the typical stop and go of Florida East of 95. ..

It does make backing the trailer very easy. Normally no affect going forward, but if you did a full lock 360° turn, the tongue might contact the rear tire

Well my trailer is heavier at 1756 pounds:

The Polaris Ranger EV weighed just under 1800 pounds before I converted to lighter Li-ion batteries.

So I don't know which is heavier on the trailer, your rocks or the EV. I do know I couldn't load the rocks like you did!.

That is a nice setup for yard work. Does the city let you take it on the roads to the burn pile, or do you have a back way to get there?
