Turning that 12 axle setup??
How in God's green Earth can you go around corners with that thing? I know, swing wide...... But seriously, what's the turning radius? A football field?

I have never personaly towed one down the highway...just pulled it around the yard and that is hard enough tryin to miss all things around it... I would say a football field is a little less than what it really needs... Now if it has the steerable rear end, "magnum" on our website then that one is almost as easy as pulling a 5 axle around.. as long as the deck clears about half way you are good...it will steer around the rest of the way

These M2000's are amazing, i'm in the proccess of building a 1/14 scale one out of brass for a R/C truck, trying to go to scale but most of what im going off of is just pictures so we'll see how it goes. stopped by murray for an interview the other day but was afraid to ask about some measurments

Our 9 axle low boy is about 99 feet truck, Jeep, trailer and booster. Loaded It can turn around in 100 feet wide area but it's really hard on everything. You have to really pull on it. But our Jeep isn't nearly that long. The booster is a little shorter as well.
The hardest part is finding somewhere flat enough. With a 100 ton rt or some thing else really top heavy you have to pretty cautious. You don't want to wind up hi centered in the middle of turning around.

That is a tough question to answer since each states rules are different... In California we are allowed 60,000lbs on a 16tire group at 10' wide as well as a few other states so depending on the deck that is in the trailer the payload would range from 175k-180k Approximately. The biggest factor would be if it has the beam deck or the step deck in the trailer.

Yair . . . Chaz Murrayor any one. I assume this trailer built some specific axle spacing formulae. The part I don't understand is the front axle groups appear to be different to the back . . . or is that an optical illusion?

It is an illusion. The axle spacing is 5'9" on the trailer groups. Any less and Cali will not give the full 60,000# permitted weight. The truck hitched to it looks to have a standard 4'6" spacing.
Here is a short version of the state rules. http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/permits/faq.htm#a11
The full rule book is something around 300 pages, and will likely cause brain damage if you try to digest it in one sitting.
