    What Is Fluid Film?

    I use it on my ratcheting chain binders and it works AWESOME!! I have tried everything under the sun but everything I used would dry out and get sticky within a few days. FluidFilm does not dry out and it doesen't wash away while driving through the rain. I'm a FF user for life.

    2006 John Deere 27d

    bobcat excavators

    I own a Deere and love it, It has about 700 hours on it and runs great and is nice and tight. I recently ran a Kubota with 800 hours and that one was so loose it was hard to keep a grade, and did not have very good drive power either.

    Light Duty Trucks & Gooseneck Trailers

    So I have a Dodge 2500 with a GVW of 8000# and a tandem trailer rated at 14,000# so if I'm understanding you correctly I would be able to haul a full 14,000# and still be legal with my 3/4 ton truck or will I have to put my one ton truck on it? Any more info would be greatly appreciated. Keith
