    M109 paladin (I believe the same as in the crash) - weight was around 60k as I recall. I have moved maybe half a dozen of these from Ft Irwin or Fort Riley. The trick on hauling them is the track gauge is soo wide that virtually all the weight sits on the outriggers - may 15% of each track actually sits on the trailer deck.

    you must use full dimension hardwood outrigger boards - or they can fail and then the machine will fall down with tearful results.

    sometimes using the cheapest bidder to move your expensive cargo is a bad plan.

    THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED!!!!!

    STOPPED AT AN INDIGENOUS PEELOT!!!!!

    Today's arduous journey has come to a stop. The Unit is now 300 nautical miles closer to The Casa Del OM, but still 565 nautical miles from the indigenous receiver.

    We have gleaned a free spot, and from the looks of things, it's a good thing we didn't go for another hour.

    The OM has decided we shall remain here until the morrow, in avoidance of hides, until such time as The Orb appears in the morning.

    yup - looks better on your set up.
    I could talk the army guys into letting me drive it, something about the sighted barrel or some such bull excrement
