    no But i can imagine how frustrating that would be and then having to keep from losing my normal sweet and even disposition would be almost impossible.

    Sure you don' want to be an 11 axle.......

    Carl, I made the mechanic spot for me - which he did great although it is too far back.

    When I called the broker to let him know I got it on the trailer, I let him know that it wasn't coming off unitl his customer unloaded it.

    Wait until you get a remote controlled track unit to ld.
    Those can be touchy at times...
    You will get the hang of it...

    I believe I will at some point. Dreading the 20 miles of stop lights TX has given me when I get to Houston

    Warning, when you get all hooked up and aired up.
    If your'e heavy on the back. Drop the air and lower the front of the deck to the ground. She will still wanna rock and roll some. But having it some what on the ground will take some sway out of it.
    General rule of thumb. 1k for every foot

    I am just going to move it before I put the neck on in the morning. It is only 92k so it probably ok where it sits but I want some weight forward so the ride is better

    Is that for big trailers only?
    Martin told me 120-130lbs an inch, which is 1440-1560lbs per foot, that seems to be pretty accurate for the times that I have moved a load.

    Well I start with that. Rt. cranes can be kinda funny. You got the counter weight , but the long boom can throw you off moving and balancing the weight transfer
