From this morning. Brought it to a guys place and have to pick it back up on Friday morning. Truck towed it real well. Bearly knew it was there.
Started off there for a Case 410 skid steer but then ended up with this.
Kubota R420S. Approx 7450LBS. Only took 2 pics because it's raining and only +3*C.

Please look @ first reply.

If it's nicer on Friday I will get a few more shots.

That was nothing for a 2500 with the Durmax. I've seen MUCH larger loads on diesel pickups ;)

slide your 5th wheel plate 3" to the front, you don't have enough weight on the front tires

It does look that way! If you cant move the plate then back the equipment up some on the trailer. Truck should sit fairly level.

Get an air bag system for back axle. I can level my truck out easily, if it is a small size item you can move it where it balances but, on large bulky ones just air it up to get level. I don't have in the cab control just air it up at back bumper. Plus ride seems to be better.

Nice Trailer...

I'm neither a GMC (giant mound of c * * p,) or a soy sauce burner fan, but the trailer's off the hook. Probably nothing to do with us being a dealer I don't imagine...Plus I get to haul them in from the factory in Texas...:scool

The plate is just forward of the axle but obviously not enough, it isn't moveable either. On the way back to the dealer it was parked a little more back so less weight on the truck. Figure if the front end wasn't lifted to level when MT it would look better when loaded. Front end is bumped up for when I have the plow on.

What kind of bags do you run?

Lowboy, I'm happy I'm not a total dissapointment to you. lol Real nice trailer, just the licence plate hangs to low.

No fear of that, bowtie...I'm only yankin' your chain. That's an awesome truck you've got. My F-150 wouldn't even hold the weight of the gooseneck up, so I'm not one to talk. I just waited all my life to use that "Giant Mound Of C**P" line.:D You happen to be in my line of fire, that's all...:drinkup

Thx for the complement.

Here is my other truck. Was at the mud bogs with it. Have a set of 38.5X11 Interco Boggers on order for it.

Second one is of me and my toys.
