Idiots overloading trailers.

[Hay Dude]

I will take my 38,500LB trailer to the limit a couple times a week.
I figure it aint worth buying if it won’t carry what the manufacturer says it will!
Plus I know I’m squeezing everything out of it I can

Right. I hate that way of thinking. I bought a 10k trailer many years ago instead of the standard 7k car hauler. Well, when I bought a skid steer a couple years ago, I realized I was AT capacity, if not just a bit above (Axles good for 10,400, trailer probably weighed 2700, left me with around 7700# to haul). My SS weighs 7500 not counting any attachments.

Well, last weekend I just upgraded to a 14k trailer, so I'm good to go for a while now!

Wonder if he used the winch at the front of the trailer to load it. lmao

Wonder what was pulling discussed bulldozer? A 1/2 ton lol.

I’m sure many have tried! LoL

You can just see the back of a dump truck on the left of the picture. I’m assuming it is a F550-650 sized truck.

My favorite part of the dozer pic is the tiedowns -or rather lack of tiedowns -or is that strap to hold the ramp up?

Bungee cords? Lol

If it was that would certainly recommend the winch -12k rating on single wind pulling 18k up an incline would be really something

I think at that point, you're just holding the trailer to the machine, and not the machine to the trailer!

Popeye can hand crank some amazing loads!

I'm wondering how the CAT got on there without deforming the cheesy loading ramps.

And something with the coupler doesn't look right-- oh wait, maybe he needed to add a hitch extender!!
