M818 + M105 ? Any thing to be concerned about?

[Makincold]

So I finally hooked the M105 up to the M818 for a short trip on the weekend, about 15 miles. I'll be loading the M274A5 Mule up in the trailer
Anything I need to worry about? Its all 2 lane back country roads.
Does the short (relativity...) M105 pull OK behind the M818?

You should be just fine with that set up.

[crasheej]

That is why they put a pintal hook back there.

Just don't forget it's back there when you back up

Already figured out it's not the easiest rig in the world to back up!

 

[Recovry4x4]

It's a whole lot easier with a tractor, you can see it.

Yep, backing the M105 with the M818 is about the easiest combo you could have. (as far as the M105 goes)

I was trying to back up my m105 last night...cant see the dang thing!

 

[Jimma]

Oh, they are just a joy to back up when you cant see them. When you do finally see them its too late.

 

[Makincold]

Practice, practice, practice... Or just make sure you don't ave to back up

 

[Jimma]

Im lazy so I just try not to back up.

I have been practicing a lot with my deuce, I back into my driveway three or four times a week. You can see the lug nuts under the corner of the box. When you can see the trailer, it is time to start recovering. Make sure you release the trailer park brakes before you take off, an M818 might not know it is locked up back there. 8^)

I put the tailgate down flat.

Need to worry about the verbal beating if you don't make sure you get pics of the whole setup together.

Other then that should have no issues.

Backing the 105? I keep the back rack on the left side of the trailer, makes it easier to see in the mirror.

H__l try and back a M105 with a M813 with the cargo cover on !! Trying to watch the trailer in the mirrors and as soon as you see it past the side of the truck it is to late to recover and kep it straight . Even with pwr steering it is tough

Duly noted, pics for sure
Just look for the headline under the 5-Ton forum that reads:

M818 + M105 + M274A5 = ????
