How has it been operating with your new trailer on public roads? Is it as bad as others have warned? All lowboys have the axles placed at the extreme rear of the chassis. Also, have you tried or have the desire to hook it to the M819?

Nice setup.

No time yet to hook it to the M819. heck it still has a M127 and a M105 sitting on top of it! I will get it unloaded on sat. it pulls like any other 50' trailer. the only difference is the MV trucks dont turn very tight. also as far as hooking it to the M819, i need to figure out how to stabilize the boom for travel when hooked to a trailer.

Its funny you mention that. I have looked through all the manuals and just see the Sheave Block being stowed on the boom as well as the boom legs. I don't see anything that says more. If you lowered the boom as far as it goes will it still put stress on the seals?

I uploaded all the manuals that there are on the 270. I think it was 1 or 2 but I'll recheck tonight.

Thanks John. Maybe what i thought was cover dimentions was the ropes and stakes that the manual shows?
