    I don't need the loader, but if you would be so kind as to drop that log grapple of here at the yard I'll see that Santa treats you real well! Lol

    Today was the second try at this one. Originally booked as 80,000 lbs. Slammed my 40T trailer into the floor yesterday morning. Spent the rest of yesterday driving back home to put this trailer together. Went back today and loaded it. Actual weight was about 100,000 lbs.

    the grapple weighs roughly 10k and would fit in a box


    We could arrange a fedex across the Midwest for ya — my truck doesn’t run west of i35

    The center of weight is about 3 feet behind the front of the frame. Would have liked to turn it the other way but couldn't because of where it was being loaded.

    Weights still worked out almost perfect even though the booster is shimmed like garbage since I was guessing.
