gooseneck

Is this rite or wrong? If my trailer is rated at 14,000 gvwr and the payload stickers says 10,500 pound max load , is 20-25% of the 10,500 on the truck axle? So 20% 10500=2100 pounds. So can I actually put 12,600 pounds in the trailer? Thanks

First off, I will say I'm not looking to haul big loads or weight. But curious about this. I just sold my aluminum tandem axle trailer because despite even having my welding shop add crossmembers and beef it all up, every single time I towed my 5200 tractor to a show, that trailer would have to...

I found a 14-15 inch crack today on my gooseneck coupler. The scary part is the crack is all rusted. No telling how long it has been cracked. The trailer and coupler was new in 2012. Should I weld it up or replace it. I am leaning on replacing, as it is a Bull dog coupler. Can I remove the...

All, I currently have a 18' trailer (16' flat & 2' dovetail) that has a 7K GVW (2x 3,500k axles). I need a higher weight capacity trailer at least 10k with 5,200 LB or higher axles and a longer trailer. The attached pictures is my current trailer and the typical load of my tractor and flail...
