    Recovery of 2 M101A2's with 1 Dodge pickup.

    I mounted it just to the side of the rear landing leg on the same cross member as the landing leg, plenty strong enough to pull an empty trailer, but regardless of that, towing that way is inherently unstable as mentioned by others.

    Recovery of 2 M101A2's with 1 Dodge pickup.

    Wreckerman posted a thread about a recovery at redstone where they flipped one manually in a wallyworld p-lot. I would find it for you but the search function doesn't work with my phone.

    Recovery of 2 M101A2's with 1 Dodge pickup.

    well, when i said heavy equipment i mean there were a few 18 wheelers and i think a dump truck there and i saw the forklift so i stopped to see if they could help. I think they were acctually like a dumpster company or something. It was redstone and i'm not sure how far they were from base but...

    Recovery of 2 M101A2's with 1 Dodge pickup.

    i figured two were going for just a little more than one so why not, from what i've seen these going for and as good as shape as these are in i can probably make what i payed for both off the one i'm selling. hopefully:grin:

    Recovery of 2 M101A2's with 1 Dodge pickup.

    once they were stacked they towed great, didn't really even know they were back there. the surge brakes worked great, they didn't push me at all while stopping. i wouldn't think a 1/2 ton would have any problem. Did you mean WITHOUT a forklift?

    Recovery of 2 M101A2's with 1 Dodge pickup.

    Ok, so, now how to unflip them without a forklift. Really pretty straight forward. I used my tractor to tilt them both vertical, unstrapped them then used a block and tackle to lower one, then used the tractor to lower the other, Ta-da. Pointer #3, tie the one you are not letting down to...

    Recovery of 2 M101A2's with 1 Dodge pickup.

    It's been a few weeks ago but here are the pics and some pointers to anyone who needs to recover 2 trailers. 1st off DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, try towing one behind the other as in the 1st pic. Anything over 40 mph and the 2nd trailer became so unstable wobbling back and forth it was literally...
