Ya, I've watched a few videos there tippy. Still haven't purchased anything else, hesitation and Covid. Prices are going up around here, there's been a 30% increase on the bx23s.

I’ve been busy, sorry so long before replying. Still have my kx33, decided HST is the way to go if I move on a tractor. I really just Want to move rock and dirt around with a hydronic lift. Track 70 series carrier will move up to 1500lbs around, only travels 5klm top speed. Then there’s the...

Three year ownership. I’ve been able to cover all my needs with including spreading gravel, dirt, stumps, evening a little snow removal. Considering trading the Kx033 for a Kubota U27 and a B2401 tractor with loader and a box blade. I have enough experience to know the U27 may leave me...

I do strap my bucket with a ratchet strap. My trailer has brakes on both axles. I drove a little one day and quickly noticed the trailer brakes were not engaging, the trailer wired connection wasn’t seated properly. There is a very noticeable difference without the brake, I would NOT risk...

I’m using 70 grade 3150lbs chains and ratchet binders at each corner. According to law under 10000lbs (heavy equipment, wheels and tracks) in Nova Scotia you need at least two tie downs and each tie down must be 50% of the load. With two tie downs in front 6300lbs and two in back 6300lbs I’m...

Most if not all trailer empty weight specs posted online differ than the sticker weight on the trailer itself. Like mine the final weight on sticker was greater than the posted weight from Canadiantrailers online, they have a download with all the specs, there equivalent to pj trailers which I...

I left some information out. I did not go with the 9900gvwr trailer, I was referring to my camper in my last post. I went with a 14000gvwr equipment trailer weighs in at 2863lbs max load is 11137lbs. Total I weighed in at 16500lbs. Truck/equipment trailer/excavator/buckets/full of fuel, a...

Trailer weight with excavator comes in at 10500, truck at 5400, one 12” bucket and one 36” bucket loaded on the bed of truck. Truck was full of fuel so was the excavator. Stopped at scale weighed 7500kg, 16500lbs. Max gross combined weight for truck is 17100. Fully legal. It drives perfect...

Combined weight on the scale was 7500kg/16500lbs. 400lbs worth the buckets in the bed toward the cab, excavator on trailer. No issues, no sway, no problems. Drove on the highway 105klms, also down an 80 zone road with lots of dips and bumps. Very happy with the f150 heavy payload and 371...

What size grade 80? 3/8 1/2, etc

2011 and 2018 are different trucks. 3.5 eco 5.0 different engines. I towed a 7500lbs trailer with my previous 2014 f150 ecoboost, worked fine for me, it was rated at 9200 towing with 331 rear gears. The trailer had a tongue weight of 850, I used sway control hitch. A balanced load with the...

Calculating the minimum number of Tie-Downs depends on the cargo length, cargo weight and cargo type. The sum of the working load limits from all Tie-Downs must be at least 50% of the weight of the cargo. So, your equipment weighs 7800lbs, would transport g70 1//4 inch rated at 3150lbs on each...

Looks like a 2500hd, not sure. The truck isn’t on its side, maybe the hulk pushed it over. An f250 with the 6.2 gives you an extra 1000lbs, but it’s harder on fuel.

I should mention my moving the X around is minimal, and highway driving is also minimal for me. If I was on a fast track highways like the I95 in the US and travelled them all the time, I would have gone with a f350 and a gooseneck hitch for over 10k.

Ill be towing close to 11k by the time you add a toolbox, chains and binders. I will also be using a weight distribution hitch. Both axles on the trailer have electric brakes. I bought my f150 for this purpose - max duty tow package - class IV receiver hitch. Opted with 3.5l GTDI heavy frame...

Maybe it’s the trailer at 22 feet. I’ve driven MCI J4500 coaches all over the place, I’ve also driven some other coaches that handled poorly. Play in the steering box, crappy tires, out of alignment. I can tell with out a doubt my f150 will be drivvvvin nice with me behind the wheel. The...

Going to go with the two 7000 axles, 16 foot trailer. I’ll still have 800 lbs left on the trailer and around 1000 lbs for combined weight. The f150 heavy payload has heavier springs, shocks and frame. Heavier duty wheels and lt tires. I’m comfortable.

The l3560 would better better in the woods. I like the 3 cylinder over the 4. A few less hp but a bigger crank and piston setup.

2018 F150 Two best configurations 1. 6.5 box, max duty tow package can tow 13200 with 3.5 eco, heavy payload package not available with this, so around 1500 payload. Consider tongue weight of 1100 pounds, doesn’t leave you with much besides yourself and a toolbox. 2. 6.5 box, max tow...
