    Yeah that's the place! No mention of back gate however

    When you make the first turn you are between the building and a 10 ft concrete wall and go past the scale then turn right (after making them move a bunch of steel)

    2+3+2 would be best as you got the 4 axle. Make sure you can get a 60 / 40 split off that jeep.
    If only a 50/50 you will not be able to get a full weight all the time up on your steer and drives

    Yea go past the guard gate. Traffic light, turn right and then right turn into the yard. Big wide drive and straight into the lot... Does get a little clustered at times with alot of trks. there waiting to ld.

    That is the exact question I have asked to my trailer guy to get in writing from the factory or at least get me an estate on weight distribution. There is a suggestion that I might have to go to a mechanical neck on the trailer as the cylinders for a hyd neck might not be practical/possible

    Yep, the oilfield slow down already bite us in the backside. Hopefully other things will pop up as I have always worked the system. Never put all my eggs in one basket so to speak

    That sounds about right... Had other issues going on in that cab I won't / can't discuss over open forum. I'll leave those for a PM someday. the 2 weeks I was in training I hauled that, a jointed wheel loader thing, and 3 or 4 New Holland tractors.

    Also almost got crushed while under the trailer beating the jammed back support legs with a hammer, and some toothless wonder decided to throw the wheel loader in reverse and Nascar it off the deck onto the loading ramp.

    I'm lost on the hyd. cyld. Not being practial...
    Trail King makes a hyd. neck for big trls. and you can get it as a flip neck. That way when you stack the jeep, you flip the long neck making it shorter and hook onto your trk. with a short neck. Also you can get it with a hyd. flip for the neck and no need for a fork lift to flip the neck all the time...

    The question raised was based on the length of the neck increasing the weight of the neck requiring larger(heavier) cylinders .

    What I want is a hyd neck with hyd flip and a set of legs so that I can self stack the jeep and booster and be legal if possible.

    Well did you see how Mike had his neck setup to back his stinger on??
    Not hard on that part and then the jeep, well there is a way.

    They can do it.. Talk to Haulhand. I think he had a Trail King big trl.. Heck he might even be able to give you the order number and you can take that to the dealer and they can bring it up on the system..
