I agree but its more of a liability issue than anything else.If you have an accident and are overloaded your insurance likely will not cover you.Thats all Im saying.

Remind me to not buy a used truck from you.

I wouldn't have bought my last truck either. Dude actually texted me after 5 months of driving around rolling coal if he needs a DPF. Either way, he screwed me on the deal, so he got what he deserved. Except for the engine, everything was in tip top shape
Eta: Don't think that I actually looked up the letters weights. I worked at CAT and sort of knew them. IIRC, a D3 weighs around 18k, D5 around 25k, D6K 28k, D6N 35k, and D6T 45k if I had to guess. The big boy D11 was like 250k.
Had a logger with an old D10, and that thing was ginormous

car trailer
Man, some of those are really lightweight.
I'd double check the load rating on that trailer.

I want a D4 for around the house. My wife said Ok but Im leery if that thing breaks.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Hammond has some good used ones, but they are still kinda expensive. Check out auctions

Yup, if the trailer has 5 or 6 lug rims it's probably in the 7K range. A bobcat will max it out....

OP brings his FIL's car trailer back, folded up in the middle.
Not a good day.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to risk it. I need to find someone with a hookup on a bobcat or a tractor. I have someone bringing in two loads of fill dirt and I am going to need a way to spread it.

Where at?

I live in McComb. If you were closer I'd bring my tractor and do it for you.

IIRC:
5 lug = 3500lb axles
6 lug = 5500lb
8 lug = 10,000lb
10 lug = 20,000lb
That's a dirty rule I use so I don't have to get down and look at them

appreciate the offer man.
They are 5 lug.
They are 5 lug.

7000 lb capacity minus the weight of the trailer is what that trailer is rated to carry.... More than likely
Posted on 1/5/15 at 2:47 pm to VanRIch
Did you check to see how much the drop-off/pick-up rate would be?
Posted on 1/5/15 at 2:49 pm to VanRIch
