I think some of the recovery fees start at about $1000 and go up from there!
But Jack's right! Darn cold job especially for the divers eventhough they have their dry suits on. IMO Lars

I decided that this trailer is gonna be a bit on the small side for hauling my bobcat with the backhoe attached..
So today I got a new trailer at auction.. will pick it up tmw. Had a scary experience with the trailer above when i tried hauling a couple pallets of landscape bricks... the pallet broke and dumped the bricks sending the truck and trailer into a fishtail as i tried to stop the truck ![]() I will probably cut down that loader bucket support frame and also mount 8274 warn winch on this truck with and put a battery on the trailer//

DJ,
I was thinking that the single axle trailer was a little under-kill for a skid steer. You'll have a lot better luck with the triple.

Worked on trailer yesterday and today and got the modifications done. redid the plug and wire harness. cut of loader support frame and welded up a mount for the winch along with a few extra tie down points. also added the battery, changed to an Atwood 25K ball hitch and made a lock assembly for the hitch. just need to get the receiver and ball for the truck now. then need to check and service axles and brakes

That looks a lot better! If it was a gooseneck I'd be jealous. ![]()

![]() In CO and many other states pulling triples by semi's is allowed but watching those triples wander all over the place in cross winds sure makes me glad I am not driving that truck

I know it is with a fifth wheel. I have brakes on the trailer and the boat. I only pull it to a couple local lakes. The furest being about 40 miles. If we go to further lakes, I'm only pulling camper. Handles better than you would think. ALOT is in the actual setup of hitches. I have seen many 1ton trucks that can't go over 50 mph because the boat gets to whippin. |
