M105A2 Brakes

[swbradley1]

I'm new to the list and I won two M105A2s last week nd I have a question. Do you have to have air to move them? I'll be taking a Dodge 4x4 to pick them up. Fortunately for me the base is only 15 miles away.

thanks

No they will pull fine without air....

Just picked mine up and towed with my Suburban...no problems, just need to be careful to give yourself plenty of stopping distance.

Thanks guys.

I knew I joined this site for a reason.

Check out how I towed mine here:

The tires are just slightly too wide to be able to stack them without flipping one over. To haul two, flip one and set it on the other. You will have a bit more tongue weight, but if my Durango handled it for 350 miles, you won't have any problems. Then again, if you are only going 15 miles, just make 2 trips. Weight won't be an issue...the trailers are 2750 empty...nothing for a fullsize truck.
