Frodo 2 M796 Bolster Recovery, Done

[nhdiesel]

Lets see, 2 bolster trailers = 8 low profile tires. Frodo's gonna do a low-rider Deuce!

My father uses one of his bolsters as a log trailer. Welded on some uprights and they work great. One of the loads we did a couple weeks ago had 12.5 tons of trees on the trailer. Only went about a mile up the road, using an airport tug to pull it. Trailer handled it fine.

The things are only rated for 8000 lbs, but you guys just have to see one to see how well they are made !!

Yea, the ratings are a joke. I'm more concerned with the tires, they are the weakest link. Toss on a set of dually 9.00-20s and you have a MAJOR trailer.

Sorry if this was already posted but...

Drop the tailgate, wrap a chain thru the trailer lunette and that chain to a tree on a grassy area. Pull forward slowly until the lunette is on the ground then drop the clutch on your truck and let the trailer fall the 4-5 feet to the ground.

THis is where a few old Deuce tires laid strategically would come in handy....

Too bad a m796 can not get a stuck deuce out.
