I need to haul an old john deere combine about 120 miles. I'm guessing the weight of the combine at about 20-25,000 lbs. I know this is a no-no but I will be on farm to market roads and in no hurry. I am just wondering if a dual tandum trailer and my truck will hold up to the trip.

 

No prob...ITS A DODGE I can haul 25 rolls of hay (1000lbs each) on a 7800 lbs trailer. Its not the going, but the stopping that'll get ya!!!

 

Yeah like I said I'm not worried about my driving or the safety aspects not because I'm reckless or dangerous but because I'm not an idiot. i am just wondering if the springs, rear tires,axles, u-joints, etc will hold up

 

Ive done it with my current truck, and a 92 Dodge 3/4 with dual wheels.. But that truck had Vac/Hydro trailer brakes too. I wouldnt make it a habit, i guess

Where in Texas??

 

cisco to waco it's an old JD 95 like a 1965

 

No problem. i have pulled more than that several times down the highway. Just load er up and dont get stupid..

(finally, some one that dosnt think 10k lbs is a "MONSTER" load )

 

Where are you in Texas?

I've seen a pic of a user on here that towed a combine. maybe it was a Case if I remember.
I think that this will be a very big big load. Texas is cracking down so please know that.

Is this a gooseneck? 6k plus a rounded 23k for 29,000lbs and 120 miles and 3/4ton.
Please provide where to where in TX and I may be able to help.

Yeah i hear that..But maybe we r a little crazy???

 

Are you planning on coming across Hwy 6?

I see Cisco to Waco in your post.

 

new2ctd it is cisco to waco which is about 190 miles not sure why I said 120 can't really think of anytime I would need a hand other than loading and unloading and I should have help. Yeah probably going to use a 28 or 32 ft dovetail

 

Ill be going from Granbury to Waco Tomorrow..Dont think nobody cares though

 

either 183 to 84 or 6 haven't decided yet. 6 has alot more hills

 

Ok across Hwy 6 is about 145.

 

Make sure you get pics for us

 

definately planning on pics. I think it will look pretty mean may need a picture download tutorial though
