m16ty 202 Posted October 4 Well, I picked up this trailer at auction this week. I just need to get it home, find a big 5th wheel, and get an auxiliary trans installed in my RD822sx to pull it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyGunner 1,823 Posted October 5 What are you planning on hauling with that or is it just going to be for show? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kscarbel2 3,359 Posted October 5 The ADF is selling off their M113s. That would round off the package. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David, Do you have any idea of what the real world capacity of these are? I talked to a guy, and he had the pictures to prove it, that said he's hauled 100 tons without problems. I know the military rates them at 70 tons, but they figure ratings very conservative, and are based on going over terrain that nobody would even think of attempting in the real world. I can permit it in TN at 280,000 lb, which would equal out to around 200,000 lbs payload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

david wild 1,149 Posted October 8 I would run 100 ton all day, you will never stress that trailer like they were in combat, those trailers were run hard and fast and still held up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
