    New Dozer Case 650M

    Hauling dozer

    I can totally see “operators” using small dump trucks to haul with. I’m always trying to differentiate between commercial operators and the guy like myself that has to move personal equipment from one property to another on rare (like once every 4-5 years) occasions. I too own an F-650 dump...

    Not-for-hire hauling of CTL's

    Amazing the complexity of it all, the lack of consensus that exists on what is legal and what’s not, and the inability to get the same answer from one DOT brownshirt to another who themselves don’t even understand the law they are supposed to be enforcing. Little wonder so many say screw it and...

    Not-for-hire hauling of CTL's

    37K is what the manufacturer says their truck can tow, not what I’m towing. My load is 18K plus trailer around 5-6K, well under what the manufacturer specs out for their truck. Again, there’s the guy making the very occasional move and the commercial enterprise moving heavy equipment around...

    Yep, me too. And yeah, I know about equipment positioning to achieve optimum tongue weight on the tow vehicle…..

    Not-for-hire hauling of CTL's

    Some folks here will tell you that the manufacturer pulls that number out of their ass. But yeah, I go by it, and have no problem with the 1 ton pulling it, VERY occasionally is all I move it. Personal use, my properties, so it sets on one property being worked for 4-5 years before moving to...

    Not-for-hire hauling of CTL's

    I’ve done that, mine says 37K but so many people say that’s not dependable…..

    Not-for-hire hauling of CTL's

    Seems to be the case everywhere and apparently the DOT brownshirts don’t understand it themselves and to a person will give you conflicting information… I usually move my own equipment on a truck and trailer in compliance with the manufacturer’s information on the labels in the door jamb and on...

    Not-for-hire hauling of CTL's

    Where does your 1 ton truck list the trailer weight limit at. I’ve looked all over mine and can’t find that information…..?
