    I would love that for what I do. Just wonder if it is a high maintainence trailer with those kind of axles ?

    I think the axle rating on them is really high - like 30k. I think getting parts might be an issue

    I imagine a trailer alignment is a spendy proposition on that one.

    They’d be really heavy I’d think, great fir special situations but for every day heavy haul not worth the lost capacity.

    Doesn't seem like they would be all that much heavier than a 3axle 55T stretch RGN. Maybe 2-3K more for the steering system. Hell of a lot more things to maintain though. I can for sure see where they would come in handy for someone going in and out of the NE cities with long stuff.

    I would like one if I was running a steady diet of control buildings or long skidded oilfield bs

    It would not be ideal for hauling rolling machinery
     
    SAR, cke, sawmill and 4 others Thank this.

    Yeah could be, but there’s a lot going on back there.

    These oilfield roads would tear those trailers up, they are stout, just not really designed for what passes for a road out here. I often wonder why our other equipment doesn’t break more than it does.

    I think I’ve mentioned this stupid machine before, I’d gladly haul it to the auction if I could.

    How do you deal with that discharge belt? It looks like it would be a booger to secure without breaking things.
     
    Ruthless, SAR and johndeere4020 Thank this.
