    It's more my OCD of not having my loads lined up for next week that ruins me. I'm about to grab whatever just so i don't sit here and freak out about it all weekend

    Low gear locked in 4 wheel drive and idling and they will climb right up. Also on the tractors them selves you dont have to worry about the oil pan its the transfer case on the backhoes that hang down.

    Cluck--our 48' trailers have the axles all the way to the rear. Yours appears that it would be ahead of that correct? Anyway on our trailers, if you have 46K lbs total weight with both units being similar you will be 38-40K on the trailer. The only way loading that much weight normally works is if you have one unit that is significantly heavier that you can put on the front. If you axles are further ahead, it will obviously be worse.

    There will not be many (if any) people that can make that combination work. At 128 high, most people will be well over 14' on a step. No one would be able to haul on an RGN due to the weight.

    When we load out of Brunswick, 9 out of 10 are three tractors, 6430's to 7230's usually. They pop right up without a problem ImageUploadedByTapatalk1355524716.564640.jpg

    Sitting in Dallas at dealership, finally getting the problem I quit 11 months ago over, looked at for repair.....maybe. :D

    I was right, it was the blend door and the climate control temperature switch..two problems for the price of one....we replaced the switch but still had cool air only in the cab air...so popped the seat on the passenger and there sat the door actuator laying off the motor because it's broke. International 9400i .

    Probably going to get a 34 out of this unless they come in on a Saturday to dispatch me if they get it fixed tonight.
