    We can wait on that for now, I want to keep watching prices and see what the spring brings.

    What do you end up with axle weights?

    With my 9900 & big cat with 18 SPD & mechanical detach 3 axle 53' muvall rgn with blocks, chains, boomers, tools, jacks & asst. goodies. I weigh just shy of 45,000. I'm thinking if you added hyd that would add at least 1500 pounds??

    Well I'm no good to you on that one, we just bought the 740 last fall and I haven't gotten it across a scale yet. I do know other guys who haul them on 7 and can scale them, I will text them and see how they scale out.

    With the end gate on the bed they run about 80,000, without it they run around 77,000. I have no problem scaling them now on 7 with a 29' well. Just have to keep them toward the front of the well to stay under 60,000 on the trailer axles.

    I would say that I might be a tad heavy on the trailer but I'm not sure how much, a buddy of mine works for a company that has a fleet of them he will have a scale ticket on one. I'll talk to him tomorrow.

    Thank you, its just a thread with no real direction. So anyone can ask whatever they want about heavy haul stuff, or just hang out and talk about whatever. Who knows, maybe we'll even see if we can talk about multiple things without getting confused. Lol

    Go 29' there are some lds. that won't balance out on 26 or less.
    I know when I buy again it will be a 29' stretch. Even if going non stretch I would go with 29.
    2250 upper works need 29 to balance out. Plus some Terex cranes need 29 in the well. Just my thoughts though.
    Well off to the beach guys. Will report back in a few days. Hopefully get my visa renewed so I don't end up in immg. jail
    My visa runs out in 3 days
