O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

I love that trailer set up Carl! Some really sick equipment!

 

[lumberjack]

Thanks. I'm wanting to upgrade to a ~40' single drop flatbed and single axle tractor. With it I could haul the grinder, excavator, CTL, and a mini or Gehl in one shot. The CTL and ex are a bit of a load for that trailer.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Carl, this is the trailer my friend uses to move Myrtle the Turtle. It has a hydraulic ramp up to the gooseneck as well. That should move all your toys, I mean tools.

 

[lumberjack]

Haha indeed! What's if weigh? 17-19k?

I would like to be able to legally move a ~39klb load with the single axle tractor. Bridge law caps it at 66klbs with a tandem trailer. The load would be a 315 sized machine, or the grinder, mini, ex, Ctl, and attachments.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I don't know what it weighs. I'll have to look at the tag the next time I see it. I seem to remember something about a 35 ton (gross) rating.

I bought this for a buddy (his money my ebay account) $440 shipped not to shabby I think. He hated the paint job and now it's Darth Hobbs .

 

[MasterBlaster]

What are those top two cylinders for?

 

[flushcut]

Not sure but the tie down handle fits in them.

 

[MasterBlaster]

But why two?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Almost a Hobbs.. Nice.

 

[flushcut]

It's not a Hobbs?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I stand corrected.. I missed part of your post. Sorry Rajan.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I think they are basically fairleads, Butch. I don't know why the one is on the back, but you can see something back there that might anchor a rope.

 

[Oldmilltreecare]

I bet a nickle the release mechanism will be improved on in the future.

I'll bet that you are right!

I'd love a hobbs - anyone want to find me a good priced 2nd hand unit to send to the UK ?

 

[brendonv]

I wish they made something like the Hobbs, but more compact. I really don't often use bigger that 1/2" line, and it looks heavy. Something smaller and ratcheting would be sweet. I don't think I used the grcs this year either.

PM sent.
We have one that we don't use.

New three cylinder Kubota in the mini skid.

The mini does not get much use these days, so I imagine this should stick around a long time. The original motor lasted 8 years until we had an issue with overheating.

 

[flushcut]

Nice!

 

[lumberjack]

Should keep you going for a long time!

 

[pete mctree]

A little package arrived from Denmark today

 

[squisher]

NIce! Let the big wood be scared!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I bet shipping was a beeyotch!

 

[flushcut]

Schweeet!
