The most unanswered question on the internet: will a backhoe fit on a 16' car trailer? In this video, I answer it! It does work, but it is not ideal. I do not recommend this.
This is to sum up the data presented in the video, as most do not watch it all the way through.
This truck, trailer, and cargo combination is 19,300. The truck GCWR is 21,000.
Truck has 8,900 on the axles, trailer has 10,400 on the axles.
The total weight of the backhoe and trailer combined is 13,000 lbs. Factor tongue weight distribution of 20% (can be varied to more or less) and there is 2,600 lbs on the ball and hitch, leaving 10,400 on the trailer axles. This trailer has 6 lug 5,000 lb axles with electric brakes on each; the data plate and tires verify capacity of 10,000 lbs.
