What happens if you are overweight?

We haul our own equipment and it is the same exact load 95% of the time which I have scaled. We broke a track on a machine and I hauled a 2,000lb UTV to our shop and brought back a 12,000lb skid steer so that we could get the track on. The utv rides at the very back of the trailer and in its place for the trip home is the skid steer. The machine on the front of the trailer weighs 20k.

 

You only have 32,000 on your 48' trailer. I Doubt you are over on your tandem.

 

Seriously, why are you stressing 32,000? It MAY be conceivable that you SOMEHOW managed to overload an axle, but I can't see how. Load it and boogie!

 

That’s not all that is on there. It is a step deck equipment trailer. There is a big diesel generator bolted into the neck. Everything heavy sits far back. Tandem weighed 27k with the 2,000lb UTV on there. I am replacing it with a 12,000 lb skid steer so a net increase of 10k. The skid steer is backed on as far as it can go and the middle of it is behind the center of the axles.

 

Spread axle sounding like a good idea right abouts now...

 

Just run it at night. Texas got alot of little fm roads u could have some fun on

 

I misunderstood the equipment loaded post. Can you put the bucket of skid loader up front on the neck?
Maybe that is more of a hassle than its worth.
Take the scenic route. I'd run the state highways. Good luck.

 

Yep. My last trailer was a spread. This trailer is short. I think it is only 42’. We need to get in a lot of tight places. It is so much easier to maneuver than my 53’ spread was

 

just dont cut threw witchita falls tx

 

Oh Officer, its not heavy at all.

Whats the problem Officer, everything is snug and tight back there.

if there is no Officer in the woods did a violation get committed? //tease...

Ease on down the road showboat looking good and riding gently without creating a ruckus around you.

IF it aint Texas...

Good luck. Its about dark now I think. Go for it.
