Are you not running overloaded, with a 160 class machine on a 20-ton trailer? Our Case CX-160 is 17.5 metric tonnes fully loaded, adding the weight of the trailer puts us at around 21 metric tonnes in total. That does not even include carrying a 3000# class hammer, extra bucket, etc.

Sounds like he might be pushing it hu ? Sometimes it's all on where you position the machine on the trailer. What I mean is how much weight is on the truck hitch and how much is on the trailer wheels ? I guess you would have to scale it to be sure....:my2c

Looks good!

Question for you, does the license plate hit the ground when the trailer is tilted? It seems like all trailer mfg put the plate in a place that will drag the ground if you get into a dip.

No the plate does not hit there is a steel pad in the center that sit on the ground when you tilt the trailer.

Welcome to HEF trailerman.

Unfortunately I must suggest reading this entire thread before recommending CAM anything!

Neat trailer Nac. Only one query.
The first set of pics you posted there was no bin on the truck. I would be a little concerned about the tail wagging the dog :eek: If the truck is toooo light, eg, no bin ! Or do you put a bit of weight in the bin when moving?

I normally run it with out a box the truck is 30,800 lbs with out a box so I have no problem. I need the box on the job I was going on thats why it was loaded.

Hey Nac
Wondering how the q/c grapple is working for you? After running my 200's, i would love to get the heavy thumb off the tippy 160 while loading out dirt after the house is long gone.
