That is a big well. I pulled a 4 axle 9.6 wide and it had a 26' deck. #### thing was a 60' wagon.

I'm 4 hours north of Toronto, ON. I cross the border and everything and never seen a lowboy like that.

 

What part of Sudbury you from MacNeil? I grew up in New Sudbury.

 

I only ever called them RGN's or Lowboy's .... The only thing I refer to as a float would be one of them trailers the dump trucks usually haul...

 

8 stacks of 4, approx 2,200 lbs each piece and headed towards Ottawa, ON.

 

Grew up in New Sudbury also! Live in Chelmsford now. Pull for a company out of North Bay.

Where you at now?

 

Here in the states, especially where town fairs and county fairs are still a big thing, float means a trailer all decorated up to be in a parade-- a parade float.

So the local high school kids approached me to use one of my trailers for their parade float. You'll be glad to know that I have been watching and learning from Truckdad on here, so this is how the conversation went:

High school kids: Can we use one of your hay trailers for our parade float?
Me: I guess that would be okay.
Kids: It will take a few days to decorate it, is that okay?
Me: That's okay with me.
Kids: Can you pull it through the parade for us?
Me: Sure. I can do that for you.
Kids: Those signs that say "Hay For Sale" with your phone number. Do those signs come off?
Me: Nope. They don't come off.

The entire parade, you could see my "Hay for Sale" signs on both sides of my trailer. It was hilarious.
My buddies still kid me about it.

 

Good lesson for those kids. A little give and take never hurts anyone.

 

I'll be honest with you, when they first started coming around it was a bit of a pain to help them out with their pickups and things. Now that they've been coming around for a while, I think the place would be kind of boring without them.

I kind of enjoy the enthusiasm and energy they bring.

 

I hope you have pictures of it.

 

Houston, Tx. A Chemmy boy tabarnac! you must be one of those icky franco's. Grew up on Colonial Court, then Sherwood Ave off of Madison.
