What’s your empty weight? & what’s the cons with your tractor setup?

[@GoodDayFarm]

Great question, thanks! Empty weight is around 86k…. Trailer is roughly 60k. The biggest con is the drop axle/pusher isn’t legal in California or parts of Canada. The major con is that is a long hood…. It’s tough to get the amount of weight you’d like to up on the steers…. A set back axle would be a lot better. Some of of that issue is also fro out shorter necks, but even still…. Long hoods struggle to max out the steers. Otherwise, is a great set, roomy sleeper. I run a different truck now, but feel free to ask any other quests you may have. Take care, thanks for the question, and thanks for watching!

Good afternoon to you sir I hope all is well, we haven't seen a lot of your videos lately one would assume you're extremely busy or your good Fortune pointed you in a New Direction, whatever the situation is we wish the best I enjoyed your content from the very first video, so if you are still driving for this company still and operating that beautiful Cozad there is a small community watching it would love to learn what you know such as how to load a trailer like that and such axle weights end tables and how all that works the purpose of the Jeep and booster and how they work in combination what's the flip box for the Power Tower or sometimes called the top hat excetera excetera I see you as a plethora acknowledge and if you are willing to share it we are willing to hear it and watch it thank you looking forward to your next video good day to you sir.

Hi! Thanks for the comment and questions! I have been very busy, and for the last month I haven’t be able to discuss what I’ve been hauling, per customer requests. But, tomorrow I’ll be on something I can film, do stay tuned, I hope to have some videos coming in the next few weeks.

If you're still pulling this trailer I'd be interested in more info on loading and setup.

[@GoodDayFarm]

I am still pulling it, and I’m hoping to do a video soon.... stay tuned. 👍

Hey Travis, the big Ol ugly green machine... She’s a big Ol gal if she’s tip’n the scales that hard and she isn’t even dressed for the party! The Bucket, Cab/ROPS add up too! We had a few of her little sisters many years ago. Decent units. Blessings Travis!👍🏻

[@GoodDayFarm]

Yep, I figure it would have been 100k fully dressed, which I can haul, but then height becomes an issue. Thanks for watching, take care!
