@OLDSKOOLERnWV

Found ya something on a local auction.

 

15,000 net. I went from 47,700 gross empty (Tare) to 50,720. Probably half the states will let me go 80k on a quad. Most of the remaining will give 70 or 72 a couple will limit me to 68 and three are around 65 I think. So it varies wildly to what I can actually load across multiple states

 

Cool!
I am going to borrow a friends Eager Beaver 55 ton 3 axle plus fourth, no spreader, to haul our 345 and get an exact weight on it without the counterweight. Then I will see if I can manage it on our trailer. He just hauled a fully dressed 349 with thumb but detached the bucket without any problems, probably real close to annual permit max but didn't get weighed. I am not sure at all about how to shim the fourth axle, but I bet the State of Wyoming helps me figure it out!

 

Here is Wyoming’s permit limits. I would give you Idaho, but I can’t decipher. They have charts and crap

 

@Humblepie I noticed you bought a NEW flip for your Talbert.

That 40 ton Fontaine you got rid of, you had a flip on it, I'm curious if Fontaine has changed much on the way the flip axles hook up. I been looking at another Fontaine that has 3rd provisions, but no flip comes with it. Curious if the older trailers are compatible with newer flip axles and vis versa.
