Finally got my 40k Gooseneck trailer! 2 year wait for the 2.0 lighter stronger frame

[@farmboygamer7877]

Glad to see a video on it! Congrats Sam it’s been great to watch you grow

[@Denis-tu1pd]

I bought back in 2020. A 20 foot hdt 14900 .it has a12000 lb tongue jack. I took off the hand crank and bought a speed binder speed handle and use a Dewalt drill with a 9/ 16 socket . The next best thing to hydraulic jack. No other trailer in its class is laid out better. I use it to haul my 6000 lb tractor and haul lumber. My spare tire is in the tongue 👅 box with all of the chains and binders . Bought mine at David's tractor.

[@mikestrucks]

Congratulations buddy ! Man that’s a badass unit. Can’t get any better than this 💪🏻

I haven't much about Diamond C trailers. Incredible engineering and building. I looked them up thinking they were built closer to the west coast and come to find out they are about two hours from where I live in Louisiana!! May looking into getting one if my plans go like I am hoping!! Take care and be safe!!

[@jeffhutchins7048]

The snow that you had reminded me. Left my shop this morning after pulling an all-nigher. Popped the drivers door open on the 2000 Suburban and drove home. When I got home the friggin' thing wouldn't let me out, the lock was frozen in the latch. The Wife has to take the kids to school so had to cold sart the '98 24V 53 block up for her, it was 19 degrees. Fired right up and unlike the Chebbie the doors opened right up and KEPT working! Later in the day it thawed out and the Battleburb was fully accessible again. Cleaned and lubed the latches/locks anyway. Let that be a lesson to us all: MOPAR OR NO CAR!

[@j.m.karsch9105]

It's not just the 30's that bounce I have a 35 with the hydraulic dove and the tongue bounces on it also. Drives me absolutely crazy and also definitely a little bit of a learning curve on load placement with the heavy hydraulic dove that far behind the axles. And man your right on about never going back to manual jacks once you have the hydraulics. Hands down best trailer on the market

[@bschannel2255]

Had a PJ hyd dove for years. Upgraded to a Diamond C 32’ and wow the difference. Axles are back a bit more and the frame flexes a little. Made a lot of difference in the ride.

[@2020HotShotTruckingLLC]

I added a truck spare tire winch under my hotshot trailer. So much easier to handle and the bonus is that my rearview dashcam mirror looks back from my headache rack and the spare doesn't block my view over the top of my trailer neck. When I'm empty or hauling loads that are not tall, I can see vehicles behind me.

Nice trailer, now you can load at night and haul the next day with a quick turnaround using two 5500s and two Diamonds. In a couple years Callahan can drive one of the trucks to the jobsite. I am surprised you don't use the hydraulic dovetail to tip the machine near the balance point. My little sixteen inch trailer tires in all steel construction weigh 105 pounds mounted. So those hoss shoes got to be a lot more. Next step, Locomotive converted to rubber tires. LOL

Trailer show they had a shorter version. But the vision out of a 3500 and 5500 has me worried. Deck on neck is higher opens up the vision.

[@allenwiley7114]

The 2.0 is badass. Did you at all consider a short sdx step deck? I’m leaning towards that myself but have never seen one personally…surprised they aren’t more popular

I would be worried about the vision rearward with those. On a semi you sit so much higher with a step deck. So curious myself but the vision part worries me.

The orange machines weighs 25k. So that’s 35k behind the truck. I did. Around 37k behind a 23 ram 3500.

[@pablosteinert5491]

So I have a couple questions why is your trailer plugged in don’t you have solar for the battery and also I know there’s the 40,000 trailer but how does your Dooley read it at 16 five handle all that weight of you ever put it on the scale

[@VBELTandSON]

Solar is solid for maintaining but sometimes you need to cord charge to bring battery level up quicker. And truck is 19,500. Handles everything i have loaded on this trailer without a problem. A 3500 will handle this weight

[@nicholascole6939]

The fords have the power but not the brakes smh.. we’ll the exhaust brake anyway

[@Mvp-AngelOfGod]

I don’t get why it’s so bad on ford. Like what’s the difference in exhaust brakes just manufacturing?

[@KarasCyborg]

That 'overhang' in the back behind the axles probably has some give to it that causes the trailer to buck on the front of the truck at the pin. I'm wondering if a hydraulic full tilt trailer might be better for stability, especially if they can put the axles further back. There is a heck of of a tail swing with this trailer because of where the axles are located.

[@VBELTandSON]

Maybe but the tail is pretty solid when locked in the up position. Only 10 feet behind the axles. Not a big deal. Problem with a full tilt you have double the frame so it’s heavier. Less payload. And your axle placement won’t be much different in order to get the 30ft worth of useable deck. This set up is ideal for what I do. 30’feet deck and axles aren’t at the complete back so it is easier to maneuver.

[@charlesandsally]

Real question. Not being a smart ass. Why don’t you get a semi and trailer to haul your machines around? What is your reasons to stay with the 5500 and goosenecks. Either way you’re still a combination over 26k and need a class a cdl. Your length is probably similar to a short semi and trailer. Is it getting you around some cost or California rules crap?

[@VBELTandSON]

Semi costs sooo much more to keep legal each year. And I don’t need a semi daily. I use my pick up daily. Can haul the family around with it. Really awesome how well a 5500 handles good weight and still has a good daily ride in the newer trucks.
