    Looking to buy a dump truck need some help.

    Thats exactly what I did. Swans LPG with 100,000 miles and GVW 23,900. It weighs just under 11,000 empty with full tank LPG. Had to raise the front of the bed since it came off a standard size pickup.

    Need help with purchasing right trailer to carry a JD 110 backhoe behind a Chevy 2500

    No trouble. That was just the first one I pulled up. I know nothing about it other than whats in the add. I did go and look at a couple more today and found one that has a 3,000/30,000 rating. It even has two holes. IE:for a bike carrier and a trailer if needed...

    Class V hitch here is rated at 20,000 and 2,700 tongue weight and just bolts on. http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2013_Ford_F-250+and+F-350+Super+Duty.htm

    Need help with purchasing right trailer to carry a JD 110 backhoe behind a Chevy 2500

    If the 110 weighs 8000 and your trailer weighs say 3500 and you put 2000 lbs on the hitch your only at 9500 on the trailer axles. So the way I see it a 12000 lb trailer would be 2500 under GVR.

    Ratchet binders that you can permanently attach a chain to?

    Id be careful using one side of a hammer link. They get there strength by not having much clearance around the pin. If you use just one side and chain to the pin it wouldn't have to shear the pin. It would likely just bend it. IMO

    is it to heavy

    Thats something to think about. I was under the impression if factory sticker wasn't present they went by minimum numbers for the particular size truck. Something like a chain without markings. Sorry for hijacking. Thats my last post, promise.

    Promotional Miniature Diecast Items

    I agree. A source would be nice. I can't find a cat 305e2 anywhere.

    is it to heavy

    I wish my GCW wasn't listed. Legal weight isn't much higher with a trailer. Since its on my door tag I can't haul any weight in my truck while pulling my trailer and excavator.

    Rigging sling questions.

    Thinking about it, it sure would get heavy and messy though.
