    I looked up the flow boys. Those are some weird looking trailers.

    The lower weight capacity must’ve been due to the front being extended ahead from the load.

    Most trailers are now built to have their loads over the fifth wheel.

    I suppose the lower weight has to do with the tare weight, the fifth wheel will still have the weight on it, the way the trailer is designed.

    I actually just picked up a 06 TK tri axle myself, looking forward to using it

    Needs to be cleaned up, previous owner painted it himself :( I'm thinking sand blast and paint black

    Steve092: looks identical to our TK. Ours is a 2007 model.

    My boss is also planning on having our LB blasted and painted as well. Haven’t decided on the colour yet. Maybe black as well as it’s easier to paint again with any black paint.

    Does yours come with all the hook ups?

    Ours has nothing to operate the electric tarp, the air gate.

    Could use some info.

    Yes sir everything from the Automatic Oiler System to lift axles and gate/lock.

    I'm new to these trailers but previous owner said apparently I'm able to change certain sections of the belt instead of the whole thing.

    I personally have not seen it myself yet, had my father look at it for me.
