    This is what I'm going with for now, I will put order in about a month. I still have some time for changes. I am doing my resources from all over including huge help from Cottrell and the dealer sales representative. Getting information from the people who operate this type of equipment is what count the most. I am from Grand Rapids MI so any of you guys ever need any help around that area send me a private message and I will be happy to help!!! So here it is: C-5309
    Self Contained system
    Drop pockets in MT and Tandem
    Aluminum Flipers
    19.5 axles with 8 Alcoa rims and Michelins
    Lift Kit
    Dump valve
    Weight gauge
    22 Weight Hydraulic oil
    Three coat paint system
    Coat inside of Bottom rails

    So please let me know what you think????

    Thank you

    When I pulled a 5309, with 9 cars you were almost always heavy on the trailer. Only tires that would hold up were the michelin 285's in 19.5.
     
    AGL Thanks this.

    Be careful in OR, MO,IA,PA,CT, and MA. They don't like long high mounts.
     
    AGL Thanks this.

    Don't forget OH, NY and MI. Although in MI you just get a ticket and go on your way. Have heard of people having to unload in NY and OH.

    Oh also FL but you can get the permit for $20/yr
     
    AGL Thanks this.

    Question? Is a center back middle of rear axels or center of trailer to the back of the trailer?
    How many cars I divide by 12?
