It is correct. Depending upon your pickup, you are adding your allowable weight imposed upon your loadbed to the normal trailer towing limit. You are not upping your train weight limit.http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eB...8&pm=1&ds=0&t=1516828170000&ver=0&cspheader=1 Could you actually legally tow a gross weight of 5300kg or is that wrong
How big is his crush if he is struggling with ordinary (cheaper) methods of towing it around?My foot trimmer has a Navara 6 cylinder pickup which pulls his crush on a 5 th wheel.No not cheap but solid,safe and no weaving.Trimmer on the road every day,has bought an ex council Iveco transit type tractor unit as a back up.
Goosenecks are very common here and the nose of the trailers are extra handy. Especially in stock trailers. I can remember a few times riding in the nose with all the other paraphernalia that ends up up there.Gooseneck trailers are great, except that UK laws make them prohibitively expensive. I did some work years ago for Douglas Lake Cattle Company in Canada. The ranch hands would put 5 horses and all their tack in a gooseneck trailer and go off to work. @Blaithin would be able to tells more about that kind of transport probably. The trailers have electric brakes which are not allowed here, so that leaves air brakes with all the attendant expense. Bateson trailers used to make 5th wheel trailers I think.
Think it weighs about 3t,a joy to observe it in use as it has been so well designed and built.Trimmer's second crush of its type,soon to go for a new one.
Galvanised?He’s got it
