        Well those Farmall tractors are heavy to start with...then add that long ass frame which is likely a double frame and you have a tank to start with.

        Add the coach with all that granite and/or marble in the kitchen and all the other add ons and they can get heavy real fast.

        Next you add two cars, three or four engines, tools, equipment and bingo...

        Now I doubt the empty weight is any where near 80k... but not having slider axles on the trailer means you had better load that thing correctly or you'll be overweight on the axles. The cops at the chicken coops love to nail car haulers. I once got a ticket in TN for being 15 feet overlength. I had an F600 Ford with a 24' box towing my 40' tag trailer... no max. length on I-65 for a semi but a straight truck with a bumper pull trailer is 60'....

            That thing probably had 20k lbs of L.E.D lights on it alone. Lmao

                    It can’t be a battery issue ... I’ve seen his ad a thousand times on DOD about how you are wasting your time pulling on the track without a 900 dollar battery

                        Could be as simple as they didn’t pay attention to how the +&- were run and the cables touched. Or they didn’t have it charged. They were still pop riveting crap on Friday.
                        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                            As Krooser stated, it all adds up. You’re right, I figured under weight. I asked the guy I know outta curiosity because I assumed as you did. And he said no, they are actually heavy. And the whole not being able to move axles thing would be an issue.

Is it a mystery they show it off at the 2017 World after it took forever to be built, and then use it sparingly because it doesn’t run right and the floor is buckling? Or that he now has an S&S. It is in lawyers hands I believe. But only because neither side obviously wants to eat the lemon. Not because it was repoed because they couldn’t pay for it as you have put in your head.

                              His mistake was using a unproven coach/hauler builder. 100% on Scott. That new DB hauler is very nice. He should have used S&S or someone else proven.

                              The motors, he was unhappy with Durham. Does he owe him some cash, probably. I’m sure they’ll settle it to not burn bridges. With the backing he has, your financial issues are grossly overstated.

                              It’s fine to not like someone because of their personality or perceived drug issues, but making stuff up is a little much.
                              My sentiments exactly.

                                Just to be clear none of these trailers have sliding tandems like a freight box would have so they all should be built to take weight distribution into account.
