RE: No Offense Taken ferro has a good idea...rig an air line between the towing deuce and the towed using the trailer connection.That should give us brakes, right? [thumbzup]

No Offense Taken OK, last I will say on this. I agree that it wasn't the best thing to do, and had definite fatal possibilities which were taken into consideration before and during the move. Only went on the interstate to avoid turning and stopping, which worked well this time. I appreciate...

RE: m211 Question for all you naysayers....how fast could I pull the M211 on the interstate using the M35? Same speed- up to 40? I know it would be more equal weight wise. aua

maybe, but it made it. Took it slow, and didn't have to stop til I got home. Hard to argue with success, despite stupidity :driver:

make that 16,000!!

nah, this truck weighs over 8K itself, and is rated to tow 1600. GO DODGE DIESELS!!! :grd:

Forgot to mention, had to get a rollback tow for the M880. Couldn't get the axle straps to connect properly on the bumper, and didn't feel it would have been safe.

I wish you could have been there, too!! Coulda used the extra help :jumpin: Anyway, it towed fine. No extra squirrel at all. The extra length gave me the angle to feel safer, and reduce the stress on the less-than-perfect pintle. I would have liked to keep it shorter, but needed the better angle.

OK, here are some pics we took while and after bringing the M211 home. Had to get them to jerk her out of her spot against the fence, don't know if she just liked it there, or if the brakes locked up :roll: Either way, the 2500 diesel couldn't get her to move til they got the wheels rolling...
