[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1281434, member: 9198"] Sounds to me like you've already convinced you are NOT buying a trailer capable of hauling anything over 14,000 lbs. I know how my logic works and it goes something like this. Need to haul a few round bales from one farm to the other. Load ten bales @ 1000 lbs each on 7K axles. Hey, it worked! Next week, need to take tractor to shop to get it worked on. Tractor weighs 14,000 plus 1K weights on rear axle, 2K on front and a FEL. What the heck, I'm just a little over on the axles. Next week, need to help a buddy move a building to his deer lease. Building weighs 20K (trailer weighs 5K). Half way to Uvalde right rear axle stub shaft breaks off and wheel assembly takes off through a guys pasture taking out 50 feet of fence.. Find a new stub axle 50 miles away, get it and replace broken one. Take off again. This time left side breaks and wheel assembly crosses median and someone on the other side of the highway hits it and losses control, killing everyone inside. Highway patrol arrests me and I'm convicted and sentenced to 20 years for negligent manslaughter. Yes, I'm writing to you from prison. Not really, just trying to give you a little food for thought. ;-) [/QUOTE]
