Ok, I can't find it. What is this trailer?

[kblazer87]

Trying to find out what model this trailer is. Can't come up with anything. Hoping the collective hivemind here can help me out with a number so I can search for the dimensions and particulars of it.

Wow, 2 minutes. You guys amaze me! Thanks Ken.

Dock height deck. Intended to transport crane-shovel attachments.

Yeah, I realize after reading some on the interwebs probably not best choice right now. Thanks for all the quick info.

Hmmm,I'm looking for that exact trailer,if you're not interested,location,price and info via PM please?

A similar trailer on a diet would be the M1061 or M1061A1. 12 and 14 ft beds respectively. Still chunkyy at 5800# but much better that 10'000#.

If you own a deuce, this is NOT the trailer you want to buy to haul stuff around on. Way too much weight in the ass end to be pulling. 5-ton truck at the minimum.

Also, the deck is very high - not recommended for using as a vehicle hauler, the center of gravity would be very high, and prone to rollovers. Would be good for hauling material like I-beams, or pallet loads of bricks, stuff that is dense enough to be a load in and of itself, without the height of a vehicle.

I bought an M1061A1 not long ago and I am excited to use it. I have not pulled it yet, but I guess they are heavy. I think I will be happy with it behind my Deuce. I just wont be in a hurry to go anywhere though. That M345 trailer would make a nice addition to a 5 ton though.

Located in Indianapolis. Saw it on Craigslist. $1,200 I believe.

Yeah I am eyeballing a few of them.

Confirmed, it's in south Indianapolis. Great deal for $1,200, hope someone here can save it and give a new paint job and maybe trailer decking.

I have had an M989 now, for several years, and pulled it all over with Medusa. It has a little more deck (about 18'), and has a full modern air brake system, and weighs about half what that other trailer does.A Deuce air system in good shape, will handle it well. I did put a Tractor Protection Valve in, for parking.
