Something you would never expect to happen is revealed in this video. In this video I also discuss the towing vehicle the hitch and all that is needed for safely hauling your machine or equipment.
You really should have a drop forged steel ball hitch anyways, seen way to many cracks in the welds and even failed hitches on the hollow style, now I use nothing but forged.
I’ve got a JD 35g. Weighs about 8k. In my particular situation my machine seems to ride better with the boom and the bucket towards the front of the trailer. The trailer axles are pretty far towards the rear and I don’t really like part of my boom extending beyond the trailer. If I drive the machine further towards the front and swing the boom towards the rear I seem to have way too much tongue weight. I don’t really see anything wrong with having the boom towards the front of the trailer. What are your thoughts? Thanks a lot.
Good Question two reasons one thing is you want more of the weight in front of the axels but for me I also like to keep the seat dry as possible as it is a open cab.
@@liveworkplaywilderness1877 thanks for the reply. Man, I also have to get a stronger truck. I mostly use my machine around my property but decided to take it out to make some money the other day. I used a 92 F250, just not strong enough to pull it up the mountain. It was struggling so bad that at a certain point because of the gravel on the dirt road it started dragging me backwards. I thought I was going to roll off the side of the mountain. Shook me up a little bit.
@@liveworkplaywilderness1877 absolutely. That 92 is just a used up old gas burner. I knew better than to use that truck but I went for it anyway. Pretty stupid of me now that I think about it
Those new load binders are a bad idea. Have to have tools with them and takes twice as long to secure the load. Chain should be hooked back to itself around stake pocket.
