I was sort of thinking that , 11,000 lbs is a lot of weight just empty. Most of the 12 ton Air braked civilian tag trailers I have been looking at weigh in at almost half that , plus with the folding ramps , ect , easier to load or unload equipment. If I remember correctly from the spec sheet on...

What about using a M989A1 trailer as an equipment hauler? Would this be a real dumb idea? I would think beyond the obvious issue of ease of loading / unloading equipment, that the next issue would be little tongue weight on the hitch , I wonder how that would affect the towing. After doing a...

It sounds like I might be ok, as long as speed is not my primary concern, which brings me to my next issue. I remember finding a link at one time to a adapter or converter that can be used to plug the civilian trailer into the connecter on the rear of the truck, but now I'm having trouble...
