Hey all,
I was looking at a buying a ground support heater from a relatively local seller for what seems like a fair price ($200 with some spare parts, including a spare Yanmar diesel). It's a very small trailer, 734 lbs, clearly intended to be able to be pulled by small utility vehicles. I've seen some similar units with a very clear 20 MPH top-speed warning, but those units also had a remarkably short tongue that was designed to also function as the jack stand. With this one, I'm curious if anybody is aware of a maximum top speed and any concerns you might have with towing such a thing. I'd just get a trailer and load it on that for safety's sake, but I don't have anything available that's both wide enough and is able to connect to a pintle hitch, which is my only option at the moment. It's more of a question of: can I tow this thing off-highway, or should I just walk from the deal due to being unable to transport? This is potentially getting hauled behind an M998A1 HMMWV.
Heater, Engine & Shelter, Ground Type H-1
Class IV Diesel Engine, Driven, 400,000 BTU/HR
NSN: 4520-01-056-4269
