Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Too bad about your boss. Sounds just like mine.

 

Probably is...

 

Did you get disc brakes?

 

Yes

Now I have disc brakes on all axles - front to back

 

Why no pusher anymore?? Don't utilize it enough on current tractor?

 

I do not have enough neck on my trailer and on my jeep to push weight far enough forward to load up the tridem and steer axle. The means I max out at 51k on the 3 drive axles and roughly 12k on the steer. So by going back to a 3 axle I can load the steer and drives to 20k and 40-46k and reduce my empty weight from 79k to maybe 75k giving me a ajihher net payload. Also my overall length will go from 113' to 108-109'

This removes the TX requirement for a rear escort for length and reduces NM from front and rear to just a single escort. I do a lot of miles NM and TX.

 

What's your wheel base and slider setup? Want to see how it compares to mine.

Also, engine spec?

I should have about 24" of slide forward available but probably only have enough jeep neck for 19"
