[QUOTE="RJSStamps, post: 54369, member: 7242"] Yeah safe is better! That said, on trip to TN snd back I saw some pretty crazy stuff on the roads. A car dolly with BOTH axles bent from hauling stuff too heavy for it. It was being towed with a car hauling a car bigger than the tow vehicle! The guy was doing 60MPH no less in a 45MPH zone. Saw a really nice skid steer being hooked up to a 1/2 ton truck on 3,000lb trailer at a rental place. Amazing a rental place would do that. My own trailers rated at 8,000lb and it too weighs almost 2,000lbs. It has dual axel brakes (brakes on all 4 wheels) and the truck is a 97 Dodge 4x4 Heavy Duty. It has the same Dana 60 axles as the 1 ton, just doesn't have the dual rear wheels but rated for 17,000 towng a trailer. It used to haul my 13,000lb camper like it wasn't there. The CL55 on it will be a tad lighter now with the Yanmar motor in it. The machine is still a beast though at around 5600 lbs. RJS [/QUOTE]
