Hitch Weight vs Payload

[RichM752]

When I take loader and grapple to a job, positioning tractor 4 " more forward, make a difference. As opposed to loader or grapple only.

For all of you needing extra pin weight, I'll send my wife over to load your trailers

Happy with the Lamar dump?

Happy with the Lamar dump?

Yep. It's a good one. Had it built special, and no issues. My third Lamar, and two PJ's before that.
7 ga seemless deck and 12" OC crossmembers are now standard. Also opted for the 8k axles as brakes are superior with 9/16" pads and huge magnets.
I move a lot of rocks, and boulders.

None, it is level.

I have a similar issue my bumper pull trailer has 1300# of tongue weight. The trailer is perfectly level and so is the truck with weight distribution. When we get to highway speeds you feel like the rear axle is moving around almost like worn out steering on a forklift. The trailer does not sway nor does it blow the truck around. The truck is a 21 2500 cclb diesel.

With trailers. Ignore dry. The dry weights are way, way off. You'll be running closer to gvwr. Same with pin weights. They are always shy on that too. They get them with no propane bottles, batteries, etc. It's straight up bare trailer. If you'll be slightly over published weights. You'll be way over on actual.
