About the posts - the offending links have been removed. I'm not too concerned about bare unideltified pictures in this one case although technically those particular ones should not remain.
Since they illustrate a point in the thread they can stay unless a higher power overrides me. But please use other pictures next time, there are plenty on the www.
Better yet, you can edit your post pictures by "managing attachments" where you can delete the pictures you don't like and then replace them with others from another source. Try it! you can't break anything.
The gentlemen are 100% right about the links to auctions. They are not so much getting on your case, but mostly warning you. The several that spoke up, serves to show we take posts about live auctuions very seriously.
So, OK the pickup truck is large but those generator-equipped trailers probably weigh almost as much and combined with the short toungues on them, they will shove the rear of that truck around. One of those trailers can rip the hitch and bumper off a pickup truck if it is out of control. That truck is also high off the ground having a high center of gravity. I would not pull one of them with a 1 ton pickup.
People do it anyway and it's their business. your mileage may vary, Check your insurance.
trailer empty = 2600 lbs
generator set = 1000 lbs each approx (who has the spec?). Are there two of them?
Whatever you decide, be careful as we do not want to lose any members, or have accounts of accidents involving green iron that ought to have been preventable.
Thanks,
