    I thought you were fairly light in your set up. My 7 axle guy looked at it - he is 29 in the well and a 20k front end.

    Those fenders add a lot of wgt. That’s why I opted out of having them

    I wouldn’t be sure you perspective isn’t clouded - you have your own built in biases same as me.

    I don’t have any money in it nor do I stand to benefit one way or the other. I base my opinion on the greater good. You base yours on your own good, it’s your right but it’s the weaker argument.

    I gotta have them. Trying to drag 30k on the trailer using a tractor is #### near an art form. Lol IMG_20180705_213222697.jpg

    i was real tempted to get them for just the first axle. But I can cover windshields to protect from rocks if need be

    I like them, they do add extra weight but also make me more versatile in my line of work. I can drop mine off at the yard which isn’t as easy for you. It’s amazing how much cleaner things stay with them.
     
    SAR, cke and Humblepie Thank this.

    Oh I believe it. It’s another one of those things you have to weigh the options for your operation. I would have liked them, but the wgt saving was more important
     
    cke and johndeere4020 Thank this.
