Rampant 40 ton

loaded! not heavy, but loaded.
i think the hydro action on the neck is well designed, works slick

 

Beautiful. Where is that?

 

it is pretty in its own way
i little smokey, but...
it is near Manila UT which is 3 hours east of Salt Lake City Utah an hour south of I-80 near a large reservoir called Flaming Gorge

 

Trailer looks good. Still a positive camber. What's that truck weigh? 35-40k?

 

I was 70k total
I don’t know my empty weight exactly yet
so I’d say it was 32k

 

Nice trailer. I see where you mentioned Kraftsman and then guys started talking about Kaufman. Two separate brands, built by two brothers that had a falling out. Supposedly, the brother building Kraftsman was upset with his brother wanting to go cheap and sacrifice quality so he left Kaufman. I have a Kraftsman gooseneck ball trailer. No issues over the last year, but time will tell.

 

The sad part is that there are so many stories about this company it's pathetic. I live 4 miles from Appalachian trailer and quality trailers in Salem Ohio. Both were at one point involved with Kaufman also. I don't think anyone truly knows the whole story.

 

Yeah, when I was at Kraftsman picking up my trailer, it was hard to get much info. You could tell it had been a bad split. Supposedly, the brothers are at least on speaking terms now. Evidently, it wasn't that way for a long time.

I've been happy enough with my Kraftsman that I went ahead an ordered a 25 ton pintle hitch trailer last week.

 

Why do you run the flip down all the time?
