I don't get it. If that's a weigh-back at 9,640 then that trailer must be made of lead.
My small-block 133" GMC weights 5,300 with all tools, sides Etc. What makes your rig so heavy? Or am I missing something here? -BA

That occurred to me when I weighed out, but then I forgot about it. I will go back tomorrow if I get a chance and weigh the truck.

You always wonder what buttons they push with these electronic scales, both paying at landfill and receiving at scrap yard. I will pull on and it sets at a number, then someone does something and all the numbers flail around to a new number. You just have to trust what they're doing. What would that trailer weight?

**davischevy** · 06-15-2018, 10:24 AM

I pulled across the scales this morning (It's on the way to the coffee shop).

Truck scaled 5,150 lbs
my fat butt - 230 lbs
Sheet OSB, lawn tools and uniforms in -100 lbs

Truck with half tank of fuel 4,820 lbs

**davischevy** · 06-15-2018, 10:29 AM

So that trailer weighs 4,490 empty.

**Steeveedee** · 06-15-2018, 11:02 AM

I have a 26 foot travel trailer that weighs about 5800 pounds. There must be a lot of steel in that trailer! Do/can you haul farm implements on it?

**davischevy** · 06-15-2018, 11:11 AM

We haul mini-ex's, skid steers, tractors etc.. If you look one over, it's not hard to see the weight. The subframe is a load in itself, and add an all steel body and there you go.

We have three of these trailers, And we have power struggles over who gets them all the time.They are one handy piece of equipment. On small jobs they haul the machine, retrieve materials, haul off the waste, load the machine and leave.

Hauling waste is much less expensive than a dumpster. We have run the numbers, and one of these pays for itself in less then 18 months. On small jobs sooner because of the delivery and pickup on the dumpster.

Down side is most of our trucks require a CDL to pull these.

72 K20- picked up 3,000lbs of river rock for around the house..

And of course I haul my bird dogs around too, lol.

Here are some pictures from two months ago when I was transporting my Sons Cutlass.

Man your truck ROCKS

**BC10** · 07-16-2018, 01:50 PM

Put the bed crossbars on today, and looked over my parts after a one year hiatus. Funny how much you can forget about parts in a short amount of time if you don't label everything...

I just took notice of your K/20 last night in that 'driver' thread and really liked it. Now I see you ain't lyin' about using for chores. A healthy load there. Is that a smile I see on that truck? Just my kind of truck and use for them. That truck would not be overlooked at a show either!

February aluminum recycling and April landfill trip

I think Cahoots is in Maryland. It's where the hiway dept, salt producers,and auto mfgrs are located.

*randy500* · 07-12-2018, 12:25 PM

I hauled some steel last week, then a Dana 60 front axle a few days later, this is my new Dana 70. Friends and family hate the lift gate. This is why I bought it, I probably wouldn’t have picked up the 70 unless I had the gate. Bought from a private party and he didn’t have a hoist, we Just drug it over to the gate and strapped it on, then I drug it off onto a cart when I got home, made a very difficult task easy.

**Steeveedee** · 07-13-2018, 06:44 PM

Last Monday, camping. In between the trees, so not too much to see. Then when I got home, I forgot to get a broadside shot before putting it back in storage.

**special-K** · 07-14-2018, 08:35 AM

Here are a different kind of truck hauling pictures. On our way up to the truck show at Carlisle

Tim what is that device you are holding in the mirror? Is that a REAL camera? I haven't seen one used in years.

Everybody uses phones for pics now days. Oh I have a digital camera too, somewhere, dead battery and all..

**special-K** · 07-14-2018, 07:44 PM

Yep, that's the Canon Powershot I bought in '07 that I have used to take every picture I've posted since.

This was last weekend. I went to a friend's to run the metal on his shop gables. That's the 30' walkboard on the ground with 2 24' pump jack poles and on the truck is my little 18'er I like to lay the poles on and my 24' Babcock wooden ladder. Not much of a load in the picture, but it's hauling and I hauled it all up the road a couple hours away. This old truck doesn't play games

**Boog** · 07-14-2018, 08:13 PM

That old girl has earned her keep for sure.

**special-K** · 07-14-2018, 09:34 PM

I didn't buy it for work,but it's always an option with these trucks
