Whats your heaviest load towed

[jnelson]

52,000+ gross combined truck, trailer, load.

12-13 pallets of ceramic tile.

Blew out all my wheel seals on my trailer.

Darn the luck

saw one today

Saw a dually go by the shop today (Hwy 52, 1 mile east of Ossian, IA) pulling a tandem axle dually trailer, with an old CAT D4 complete with dozer!!! I don't know for sure what a vintage D4 would weigh, but I'm guessing he was 35,000 GCW. You wouldn't have known he was heavy, to see him roll by. I hope he didn't have any idiots pull out in front of him!

Those same idiots that pull out in front of you, would also step infront of a moving freight train!

That why that are called speed bumps afterwords.

I towed a 30 ft gooseneck with a case tractor on it over parleys canyon. (just out of Salt lake. ) GCW was 23850 that is from the flying J scales. did 40 MPH over the top. That was in a 2001 2500 SWB ho 6 sp. Also hauled 3 traier loads of cows over Sardine canyon 9 cows in the trailer.

The heaviest I have ever pulled was a 45' tandem axle gooseneck flatbed. Loaded on was 1 JD 1145 72" deck, 2 JD 855 72" decks, 1 JD 5400 with JD 1518. And intow of that was a 35' Dutchman TT. Approx. weight was about 65,000. That was with my '92 350 auto. Across kansas on the backroads through the flint hills. Now I simply pull 32k daily through downtown KC, 6 days a week. And on occasion when helping my neighbor with hay we will load that 45'er with approx. 750 square bales.

I haven't had the chance to scale it but when loaded with hay I'm at around 22,000 lbs. We have a John Deere dozer that I pull from time to time. I don't know what size it is or how much it weighs, but I do know it's heavier than the hay I haul, it makes the truck grunt a little bit.
