I use to run from Miramichi to Saint John, and then back to the island with no issues (one ton, 3 ton deck truck) One day I had to go to Amherst to pick up a tractor for the dealer I was working for and got at nailed at scales just inside the NS border for not having covers over my chain boxes ( didn’t need them in NB or PEI). I always keep a pice of plywood, a few nails and hammer with me from that day on Incase I had to run Into NS. Haha your video is bring back so many memories from hauling tractors around the maritimes... cheers!

Good to know. I bought a Kubota KX121-3 a year ago and have been learning to use it on my rather steep one-acre lot in the Appalachian foothills in GA. I don't have a trailer to haul it yet. When I need to move it (like to my kids' homes, not for hire yet), I call the local towing co and they haul it for me for $100. I don't move it often. I do want a good solid trailer, I don't want my machine rolling off in a ditch somewhere because I tried to save money on a cheap trailer. A good trailer is like insurance. A descent 18' trailer will run me about $3-4,000 used and a new one about $5-6,000. My excavator weighs 4.5 tons.

nice. and i like that wheel chock idea...after all these years, i was _finally_ going to fab up fold down stabilizers at the back of my mowing trailer, but chocks are much easier 😂 i still need to put on stabilizers, though to mitigate the rocking during unloading and loading. you need those speed binders like vbelt has...

Grade 70 or 80 3/8 is usually good for this type of transport. They have about 6600lbs rating per chain. You could go ½ inch which is rated for about 11000lbs, but I think it's overkill unless you're doing really heavy transport.

You like living on the edge of dying, V Belt Sam hauls his 80 behind his 5500 I'm guessing you guys haven't had a scare to shake come common sense into you. I've been hauling our 80s all over hells half acre for the last 5 years the safest way to haul them is on the back of a tandem bin truck, takes 5 minutes to load and go. We also have a 33,000lb gvw F750 with a 30,000lb tag with electric brakes the 6.7 Cummins barely has enough balls to haul an 80 on the trailer I've powered out on hills with the alison in first gear. I don't get how you guy's figure its safe to be pulling 8 ton excavators behind a light duty truck? I've been driving commercially for 19 years on and off, you guys doing the haywire shit makes the CVSE guys pick on the guys that run legal. Guys that run mini excavating businesses in this area won't pull anything bigger than a KX57 size machine behind a F-550 sized truck.

Graveltrucking Ok first off man there is nothing about my operation that is nit legal. I am safe before anything. I can stop just as fast as a big rig hauling there big loads big to mention a train load. Sounds like you have a safe operation so good for you. This is what works for my situation and I will continue to do what works for me. And no I have never had a close call because I am a good aware driver and do what I can to avoid those situations but I understand some people just help themselves from being super truckers.
