I was recently stopped for being over loaded, I was pulling a bobcat 331 mini. About a 7800lb machine if memory serves me right. I have a tandem axle trailer rated at 10,400lbs it has 2-5200lb axles. I was towing with a single wheel GMC 3500. The highway patrol said that I was overloaded because the trailer weights 3000lb bring load plus trailer to 10800lbs. Is it unreasonable to assume a 10,400lb trailer should haul 7800 or even 10000lb with no problem and be legal?
