    if you gating your middles.

    I’m not one to tell a guy how to load or suggest even but if I was loading them to ride that’s what I’d do. If I was crossing coops off the big road in Mo,Ks,Ne, and Ok I’d change that a bit probably 7/13/13 in the nose and front cuts. Behind the center gates. And I’m not standing their lookin at em but I might would pull one outta the nose and throw em on the tail cause again I’m not standing there


    How close am I?

    Personally I'd go 13 in front cuts...and drop the 3rd axle. The ride will be way better.
