    How much can I haul

    [b:fcf404e895]Larry, (2) tractors weighing 9000 pounds each = 18,000 pounds. A trailer capable of hauling 18,000 pounds would have to have a minimum actual empty weight of 6000 pounds and a minimum gross vehicle weight rating of (GVWR) of 24,000 pounds. That is 24,000 pounds so far...

    AVOID I-80 east around Sugarloaf/Hazelton, PA .....

    At all costs - avoid Interstate 80 thru Hazelton & Sugarloaf, PA. I drove 1000 miles roundtrip a few days ago to fight (3) tickets issued by local law (not state troopers) patrolling from the median on I-80. I was stopped for no reason & spent 1.5 hours behind a truck stop while my pick up...

    Trailer Brakes

    It isn't clear how old the trailer/brake wiring is ... I would install all new wiring for the trailer brakes. It isn't clear whether you have a breakaway switch installed? If you haven't put one in, you need to install one with a separate battery source that does not rely on 12VDC from the...

    12V winch on trailer

    [b:4370aeaef1]It depends what your tow vehicle is :?: If newer, then there is a charging circuit built in to the factory 7 way wiring on the vehicle - you can mount a deep cycle battery to power the winch and breakaway switch - the battery size depends on the amperage draw of the winch ...

    Trailer axles

    [b:9d12e7b76e]It depends where the axles are placed on the trailer, what it is that you are hauling, how you plan to load and unload, how you turn (easy or hard) :?: It is a myth that triple axle trailers are harder on tires - sharp turns are what shorten tread & tire life on any trailer...

    Ron Porter

    [b:cfa44810b6]From your quote above: You bought a used tractor with no warranty but had not paid for it in full. You admit you were not going to make the last payment. The Seller repossessed the tractor. End of story. Your lesson? Buy a new tractor with a warranty. Buy a used...

    JJN Trailers Sikeston Mo Problem

    [b:16f6577b34]If there was any fertilizer or chemicals stored in that barn with the trailer then that is where the corrosion and/or rust came from. It can also happen from ground moisture coming up containing chemicals. [/b:16f6577b34]:!:

    leaf springs

    Randy I took my F350 to a spring shop and had them re-arch my leaf springs and add two leafs to each side on my Ford F-350 dually. It cost me about $450 and is a permanent solution if you will be hauling a trailer with your truck. A good spring shop can advise you how many leaf springs to add...

    Middle man for money transfers.

    Dennis I would deal directly with the other party in a financial transaction. There should be no reason to have someone else handle money. You should be able to make a purchase safely with cash, cashiers' check or bank wire transfer. If you involve your bank in a wire transfer always have...

    600 Hauling

    I am hauling a Case 600 now on my trailer. It weighs 8000 pounds and the rear tires are 84 inches wide (outside tire to outside tire). Safest hauling depends on whether the tractor runs or rolls, whether there is calcium water in the tires or axle weights, what your trailer & tow vehicle...

    nonslip paint finish and extra wear areas???????

    Dave, You might try checking into those adhesive strips that go on after you paint. They have a textured surface that you are looking for. I think they sell them at YT Tractor supply or other farm supply stores.

    It's not all the banks fault.

    Dave, I do not know why someone would obligate their self to a loan of any type that they know could not be repaid. Ultimately a person knows what they can afford and what they cannot afford.
