That wasn't me. Thats just a pic I found on the web.
Although I have been in a similar situation years ago loading an early 40's John Deere B Model on a tandem trailer behind my 1983 F-150.
Pulled the rear wheels off the ground just like that.
I’d be surprised if it was ever fully loaded. I don’t think the trailer tires could handle it.
Check out the squish of the rear trailer tire in the first pic.
The tractor weighs ~6000lbs. Looking at the axles on the trailer, best benefit of the doubt would be 3500lbs axles, a total of 7000lbs for the trailer. That trailer probably is 2000 itself, so 5000 max payload. And with that tire squish, I'm betting someone just filled them to ~35psi instead of the 70-80 they should be. There is all that craziness before even factoring in the truck, so I don't imagine that is any better. Chances of a brake controller? Breakaway? Some people...
Some pics of my truck doing work, has done a lot more grueling work but usually too busy during that to take photos
true offroading ramming a junk camper onto a friends trailer with the rail bumper cause the jacks wouldnt work load of 1870s lumber firewood firewood hauling with 1955 White dragging concrete blocks
Midnight, good thing you have the homemade heavy duty bumper and not the stock F100-F350 bumper.
haha yeah, i have the original still and i was actually using it but it started slowly bending inwards on the ends from repeated ramming so the rail is a temporary replacement
Awesome!!
That ol' White dump is pretty cool as well. My buddy has one that has ben fitted to an early 70's 1/2 ton chevy frame. Front fenders were reworked for the smaller wheel openings and a regular chevy step-side bed was used. My other buddy has one that has been fitted to a mid 70's Blazer frame. Here's a shot of us on a road trip a year or so ago and a pic with a couple of another buddy's restored trucks;

Nice! i dig them and they're in a lot better condition than this one, I don't think there is a single undamaged part on it to be honest with you. we use it just around the property as if it were brought in for an inspection the guy better have an empty logbook... ill post a couple more pics of it

Actually...you are not entirely correct. It brings me great joy to correct you since you have made a hobby of correcting people on here quite often. You are correct that adding the gross capacity of each axle gives you the total capacity of both axles. Then subtracting the the weight of the trailer is indeed the correct math. What you are forgetting is the offset of the tongue weight! Your tongue weight should be at least 10% of your load weight. So if the trailer weighs 8000 lbs and you put 1000lbs on the tongue then you are still correctly loaded per the weight capacity of the trailer axles. The real issue would be the combined gross weight (GCWR). The truck GCWR is more of an issue here than anything. In follow up, the trailer axles do not determine the load capacity, only the trailer axel capacity.
