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

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. [thumbzup]

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

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.

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.DSCN0003.jpgDSCN0003.jpgA Deuce air system in good shape, will handle it well. I did put a Tractor Protection Valve in, for parking.
