Hi all Just my 2 cents on this I bought a brand new towmaster 25 ton tri axle put It behind a tri axle international dump and put a 160 deere on it and always felt I had a safe set up put the machine over the trailer axles and put the boom as close to the tailgate as I could get. Now the problem came when I would get off road to remote sights, unload and try to get out with a empty trailer that was heavy and had little to no tonge weight. I was stuck all the time, sold the 25 ton, sold the tri axle dump , lost some money in the process bought a older tandem tractor and a fixed neck 25 ton lowboy and have never looked back since I am very happy with the set up much much better for moving the bigger stuff in my opinion

Hauling cat 315 on 20 ton tag

I have a Kaufman DT35 Hydraulic detach and have had really good luck with it and if I do have trouble I call the sales person and he always gets back with me. Also have a Felling 50Ton tri-axle tag but would never even put close to that weight on it, occasionally will haul our PC200-8 on it but that seems like quite a bit for it used to haul our 690E on it all the time but traded it in for a PC210-10

Nice rig , all I want is a tandem dump , I have the 20 ton trailking. One thing about RGN around here , you get hung up coming over rises when turning onto other roads. We have one guy that has a fixed neck with a 16' well , phelan , the first 2 years he had it , stayed hung up on humps. If our roads permit it your rig would be ideal. Lot of 1 lane croaked up hill down hill around blind curves etc.

JCSI - I am looking purchase a Kaufman 35-ton 2-axle RGN. Have you had any issues with it? Does it have rear ramp and a pony motor? I currently have a 4-axle Eager Beaver 55-ton RGN with pony motor and its been a really good trailer.
