    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    I've discovered that grabbing the trailer just under the front edge of the front wall/bulkhead while facing forward on either side of the tongue, lifting with my legs isn't so bad. It's easier obviously with two people, but it works. It's easiest with max height in front. The two grab handles...

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    The adaptor I have on loan has a 12" rise. The lunette(s) are both in the "up" position. I'm not going to flip them. Sounds like I should be o.k. Thanks!

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    My EUCs cleared pretty quick on my two M105s. I'll be using a SWEET pintle adaptor that gimpyrobb loaned me. (Thanks Chris!) Now! I'm picking these up (one at a time) with my Jeep Cherokee. The hitch set-up is rated for 700 lbs. on the tongue and 2750 max. trailer weight. Will I be o.k...

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    I'll go ahead and ask now. How does one spot the "newer style" landing gear, verses the "older style?" Is it simply, "dual-wheeled?"

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    I knew that! aua Long time, no truck! :oops: Didn't know the weight though. Thanks! I'm rated for 5000# towing, and 500 or 750 on the tongue, depending on which vehicle I use. So, I guess it's time to go shopping for a trailer. :)

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    Got it! Needed a jump-start there. Thanks! And finally, what am I looking at for dry weight on an M-105 with side-boards and (hopefully) a cover? I have a small camper that weighs 1600 lbs. (dry), and was not manufactured with brakes. I can stop with it easily enough. Does the M-105 have...

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    Hey! You guys are a great help! One question that I know the answer should be obvious to me, but it's not clicking... Why flip the lunette? What will I experience if I do not? Also, gimp, that pintle set-up you have... Is that something I could find at maybe Tractor Supply Co.? Is that a...

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    I'm thinking about getting an M-105 Trailer to go with my deuce. Right now, my truck is away. Can I tow an M-105 with a civy vehicle easily enough? Or, will it be too much of a PITA? What adaptations will I have to make? And, what is easiest, adapting trailer to truck? Or truck to...
