    Trailer axle question

    I don’t see it that way because why would they sell a axle that 7k lbs will damage it and rate it to carry 7k lbs safely and then torsions have a overload capacity aswell because they don’t load share with other axles. But no point in hauling around a trailer if I can only put 6klbs worth of...

    Trailer axle question

    Well 2 7k axles so rated for 14k most I’ve had on the 2 trailer axles is 13,260 rest is on the truck but when it’s your way of making money what’s making you more money hauling half a trailer load or a full trailer load? I got the electric over hydraulic disc brakes so plenty of stopping power

    Trailer axle question

    ain’t worth hauling it around if I can only put 5500-6k in it if I can get 2-3 good years outta it and axles are still good I’ll sell it to someone and buy a new one while it still looks brand new

    Trailer axle question

    Trailers got torsion axles and it’s a right new trailer so suspension should be alright I’m trying to make sure not to bend the axles them 7k torsions with electric over hydraulic brakes are expensive but also wanna use the trailer and not have a lot of wasted box space

    Trailer axle question

    The truck will 100% take 1500-2000 I’ve hauled 8k lbs of seed + 1230 lb flatbed and a 1600 gallon nurse tank full of liquid nitrogen. When hauling I’ve been hauling 16 6-650lb calves in it which is right around weight capacity of trailer axles and have been loading it more front heavy but I’ve...

    Trailer axle question

    My understanding is that the 2 7000lb axles gives you 14K total weight including the trailer. But depending on if it is a gooseneck or bumper pull some of the tongue weight being on the pickup will give you more carrying capacity. Then there is the factor of how you load the trailer with more on...

    Trailer axle question

    I got a 24ft livestock trailer with 2 7k axles that I’m pulling with a f450 ford is the axle capacity setup that the axles can withstand just 14k in the trailer+ contents or if you shift part the weight onto the truck say 2k on the truck and 14 on the trailer will it mess up your axles?

    Loader issue

    yea That’s the first thing ima do when I get out there and see if it makes a difference if it does that would mean either that spool on the valve or the quick connect coupler on the valve side is bad correct?
