Seems I'm always hauling something lately. I didn't even take pics of the F150 and half ton Chev I hauled one night a few weeks ago.

I took a pic of this one. Bought a 97 C3500 454 service truck. Loaded it forwards on the trailer. I think the bags took about 30-40psi to get it level again. Fairly tongue heavy load. Don't have many options with that 16' deck. Searching for longer trailer with 7k axles to replace the 16' with 5200lb axles.

Cut down a bunch of trees at my place to build a road to my pasture. Neighbor has a wood fired boiler to heat his riding arena. Enter his 32ft tridem single..
After these pics were taken, we threw 40 root balls on trailer. The helpers bags are at 55psi and its sagging pretty well after the stumps were put on top.

I towed a 96 WS6 T.A. with no motor/drivetrain (2800 lb roughly) in my 97 c1500 'Burb w/ a tow bar. I had to keep it in 3rd even on slight hills. Flat level had to speed up then put in OD to maintain speed limit. Got good mpg w/ the platinum IR fusion spark plugs while towing (14 mpg).

My uncles 97 c3500 454 nv4500

Not sure of the weight but we were 10 ft wide and 14 ft 6 in tall

We took it nice and easy about 25 miles to my uncle property. Lots of hills, he had to drop it into granny a few times but we made it.

I think it's safe to say I did a decent job rebuilding the rear end.

Hooked up and ready to head to the Peoples Republic of Boulder in the morning.
One of our Boulder fleet vehicle spun a rod bearing in the engine. It's an '05 Corolla with 430,000 miles on it. It did well.
I have a spare engine in storage to put in the car.
Sometimes it pays to "pack rat" certain things.

Nice. What is the weight on the mini ex? I want to haul my backhoe on a tandem dual trailer with my 99 454 cc sb 4x4 truck when the need arises.
