Don't look too close at the tires on his trailer either guys, they match the rest of the rig.
My stuff isn't the best and newest stuff on the road. But I try to keep up with tires and brakes and lights, to at least make a effort. Its not easy and it costs $$, but I always look at the flip side, if something happens, I know I did my best to run good equipment.
The comment on 1 ton's hauling equipment by AzIron is spot on around me. We've got every little contractor running around with back hoes, pretty good sized zero turn excavators, telehandlers, track skid with a mini ex on the same trailer, etc. , all on a gooseneck or bumper hitch behind a 1 ton.
With todays hot rod engines, they have all the power in the world, they just can't stop, and the equipment is too top heavy for the truck and trailer in the hills and curves we have.
I have a guy about 3 miles from my shop, we drove by one day and I saw a cat backhoe up on his gooseneck trailer. Behind a single wheel pickup. I told the guy riding with me "he's going to dump that mess".
Sure enough, couple days later he flops it off the trailer on the curve by my road. Destroys the backhoe, tore the truck up, and I don't think it did the trailer any favors. And he owns a semi.
Of course he was driving a new truck a little while later, I'm sure our insurance rates paid for his stupidity.
