Gooseneck adapter build.

[Sodo]

Don't worry about me I am incorrigible! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Problem is I can't get back out to my getaway, it's 100 mils away but I'm tied up.

I'm worried about --->others<--- who decline to post, I wanna see their projects. For inspiration, ideas. And something to read, jeez this forum is stagnant. And yes I got my 6-pack of lobster red, everythings gonna be orange for about 6-cans worth of projects.

But back to this topic I'm glad to see how that adapter works - that's inspiring.

Does seem a bit slow slow on the build it yourself forum.
i am going to add a receiver to my pallet fork SSQA to fast attach conversion in the near future :thumbsup:
but it is just a small project.

That goose neck adapter is neat- Looks like some extra deck space is ( or could be) created by bolting it on?

okay for discussion purposes, I know you can haul more weight on a goose neck because it put more weight over the truck axles but at what point do you add so much weight building the GN that it is not worth it to add the goose neck?

I built some frame work for a deck over the trailer's tongue.

I don't know the answer to your question.
An engineer friend ran the numbers for this gooseneck adapter. He said it was good for at least 30,000-pounds.

Just eyeballing it I thought it looked more than adequate for the trailer it is on.
