    i think way more in your prices.
    most expensive i have made so far was 275.000 usd without trailer in 2019.
    short central axle two axle trailer was 40.000 usd.
    3axle full trailer with extendable chassis is 60.000 usd

    if you want to save money and use rather poor setup, you can go under 190.000 usd including crane and trailer

    truck mostly goes into really difficult places. it take some wood and load it on trailer, return and load again. than it goes to some places where normal trucks can go.

    Very little progress, not anywhere enough for her liking.

    She is trying very hard, and let’s just say I’ve got my hands full.

    But TKS for asking

    very sad thing is that there are some medicals that might work for MS which are not (yet) available for anyone, but at the same time we are being forced to vaccinate with something that is no longer working for virus and not proven as safe at all.

    in europe we have covid pass, you can get it if you test negative within 48/72h-depending on type of test, test prices are here 20-80€, if you had covid within 6 months or if you are vaccinated with 2 doses.
    it is already proven that you can have covid multiple times, my colleague had it twice in 6 months.
    people who are vaccinated are in hospitals right now as well.
    vaccinated people, even if they are positive right now, they can freely move, go into hospitals etc. with this covid pass
    at same time people who are vaccinated with chinese or russian vaccine(from our neighboring countries) are not allowed to travel as they need western ones as well.

    my aunt has MS since 1996/7 dont remember. she was in bad shape, barely moving around house and was on way to get into wheelchair.
    her doctor sent her contact to some company as she was good example what they are looking for.
    they called her and arrange her test for medicals for MS.
    she become well very soon after she started to use it, could work around house, raised two grandchildren....but did not drive a car.
    she used them for 1.5year, she never knew name of manufacturer or name of product, she had to return all boxes etc.
    after this test ended, they closed company.
    now like 10years after she stop to use it, she is being much worst, but still bit better than before she started to use this medicals.

    sad thing is that complete world turn to covid and ignored all other people.

    Does any of the axles on the trailer steer?
    How much can you load on the trailer? Must be over 60 tons.
