The ferret is about 4.5 tons. The previous owner of the trailer used the trailer to carry his ferret to Rogersville, TN and back, so I believe it can handle the ferret's weight as well. He did it with out brakes on the trailer too!

Thanks! I can't take credit for the Gamma Goat lights. The guy I bought the trailer from added those. I'm technically supposed to have three marker lights back there, but I suppose I can argue the trailer pre-dates that regulation just based on the HammerBlow axles. I thought about mounting...

The trailer is some no-name trailer that has a set of UTG axles with electric brakes. The data plate is missing so I have no real clue as to the exact load of the trailer, but the axles were made by one of the companies that Cequent took over decades ago (Hammerblow). Dexter's axles/seals match...

As I stated above, I was running more or less full tilt, average speed for the whole trip was 34 mph, that's stopped and running time. When I was actually only running I was averaging around 47-50mph, with short blitzes to 55mph. I noticed that on the long climb up I77 past Bjorn's neck of the...

So this is the combination that I drove up. I figure the trailer was around a ton and a half. The dingo is another 3.5 tonnes, so I was probably around 12,000 lbs towed. I loaded the Dingo pretty close to the front of the trailer to get the weight centered per Squirt Truck's advice. I had a pair...

Yep. Left it behind Jim Burrill's barn. He's had Bren Carriers and a C15 CMP truck in the past so he's very MV friendly. The Dingo is snug and warm in his barn with about 5 tons of his WWII kit, radios, and other bits. We'll be going to the Reading Airshow and perhaps Aberdeen, so it made more...

yep, I made it up there. I had a long weekend driving around in the woods of Fort Indiantown Gap flanking Germans and then a not so quick trip to Hatfield, PA. Then Monday I caught the train back to Atlanta, leaving the truck up in PA at my friend's place. Work, naturally had lots of things...

You can't do anything but take your time. It took me nearly 10 hours to get to Staunton. Left the Ga Border area at around 10am. Around 500 miles. Granted, I have stopped every so often to check the truck out. 3 hours stopped time 10 hours drive time, (that's when the truck is running, fuel...

I think I have everything I need. Wow, took me all day to get loaded up and I was already loaded up partially. Takes too long when you've got only yourself and you're trying to figure out a loadplan for Modern and WWII kit on the same truck. I'm headed out. I'll have my cel phone 404-545-6205...

So wednesday, I'll be headed out to Fort Indiantown Gap PA for a WWII event. This'll be the first WWII event I'll be taking the Dingo to with my own truck. Part of the original reason I bought the 5 ton and then the deuce. So I could spend a few hundred instead of a thousand moving my WWII...
