Bought me a new used truck

[Cowcatcher]

New 40’ trailer made it in. Rig gets in and out of anywhere my 4 door pickup and 32’ gooseneck does. Drove down to feed store and weighed it.

That's a good looking rig.

Question; it seems odd to see that long trailer with a single axle in the rear. Will you be able to get enough of the load towards the front ?

Aren't you concerned about going over on the trailer axle weight ?

I believe the trailer weighs 10k. Trailer axle is a 20k. Manufacturer says it will haul 32k pounds of beef.

Cool truck and trailer

Oklahoma law restricts single axle gross to 20k pounds.

That's on the axle itself, no matter the rating of the axle.

Just curious. I'm used to hauling very dense materials, and that long trailer with a single just makes me jittery.

Even restricts Farm Exemption vehicles and trailers?

I think it will be within regs. Yeah it definitely wouldn’t with lead loaded in it.

Wanted to share a project I helped a neighbor with last winter. He has some really rough country and his 1 ton feed trucks wouldn't last long and pulling a trailer through most of it was impossible. We stated with a 5 ton military tractor and custom made a horse box behind the cab with ramps on each side, mounted a #2000 feeder that since has been replaced with a #4000 model and mounted a Hydra-bed bale arm bed on it. It's kinda over the top in my books but it's exactly how he wanted it. If a man can dream of it or think of it more than likely he can build it.

WOW, heck of a build. You guys have some mad skills. I was a big fan of Monster Garage.
