I cannot resist I have to say it.

You will look like the "engine" of the rig in the second picture, that's what you will look like.

Rental trailers are $ 80/day, get one and get it over with

 

what are you going to do if you wreck..?

 

was not going to try it, just thinking out loud..

 

Ya I wouldnt do it man,Ive put 3000 lbs in a first gen single and it wasnt good. But my buddy borrowed my dually and filled it right full of rocks,dont know how heavy it was but he said it handled fine and he was on the highway.But dont do the bobcat

 

I put a 753 on a one ton flat bed once. Drove it on and drove it back off. If you do it give us some pictures and how much the repairs on the truck cost.

 

LOL I say give it a try and prove the nay-sayers wrong Just take some pic's of it in the bed to prove you got it in there! (I have to see this LOL)

Who wants to place bets on which goes first the sheet metal in the bed, the springs, or the tires?

 

Friends don't let friends drive Bobcats up in the bed!

 

I wouldn't do it, especially with the high center of gravity.. I have carried an entire bed to the top edge with sand ~4000lb and also 3200lbs of rock before...

Quite a ride is all I can say. Very glad they were short trips...

thiers a reason 2" oak is used on those trailers with 12" centered i beams.....i dont think our beds come close to that kinda support....but if u think so do it....and please please you tube the attempt.

 

I used to work at a feed mill and would haul 120 50lb bags of feed three times a week to a cattle and horse farms. The truck handled it just fine. But i have to add that it was a 2003 F350 ext cab 4x4 cab and chassis with a hillsboro aluminum flatbed. What it didn't handle was my brother rolling it. It was a 6.0 so after all the motor trouble and the fact that it was tottaled, i finnaly come over to the dodge side. I don't think the dodges hold the weight as well as fords though. Tim

 

Bad thing to say on a Dodge forum, 10 slashes for you !!!

 

The most I have ever hauled in mine was a touch over 5300#'s of sand. You could tell it was there more by the braking than anything else. I also own a dually so it wasn't that big of a deal. Just remember once you get going you do have to stop. As far as the ford comment give your head a shake man.

 

Hey i know my comment would get some response. I will not ever go back to a ford unless i swap in a cummins, but lets face the facts I drive a CUMMINS not a dodge. LOL Anyway all i was really saying that my cab and chassis truck although it was a F350, they have alot heavier springs than a F350 pickup. That truck just started to ride good with that kind of load on it. The main problem with it was the constant breaking down and have to drive a loaner taurus from the dealer while my brand new truck was getting fixed. You should have seen that car squat when i loaded it up with feed. Tim

P.S. sorry about the ford comment!!

 

ILLINOISRAM, I was just kidding, and giving you hard time...

Honestly Ford blows my mind, they actually have a spring code on their door tag.
I have a F250 here with a bad spring and I had to read the label to get a replacement...

 

We had an air conditioner unti delivered to our work once. It came in on a 1 ton flatbed. It happened to be the same hight as a dock we had so someone decided to drive a forklift out onto the truck bed and pick it up. He almost didn't get it back off. The truck sunk about two feet below the dock.
