My brother is movin his with my truck if all goes well. I think its 14X70 with 3 axles. I told him to check for brakes. If it had them would it hook up where the gooseneck wires do, or a special one? I'm tryin to get a camera to show my old beater pullin something big. My first photo lol. With all that weight we shouldn't worry bout gettin stuck in the yard right?

What kind of hitch did you use? When we put the weight on the truck the trailer frame was a few inches off the ground using a straight hitch. The back tires were sinking in the ground a little.It didn't have any brakes. Right now he is lookin for a tractor. I had about 3-4 inches before the ruber hit the axle on the truck, but it had some of the weight still on a block. The reciever, I think thats what he called it started to bend.
