Towing M35A2 with M911 HET

[M1075]

I put my towbar to use for the first time with the M35A2. It pulled real nice behind the M911, keeping a speed just under 50mph. All the overpasses look low when riding in the HET, not the mention the fact that you can look over the top of most semi trucks.

The M911 is approx. 9.5' wide, 12' high and 30' long. The companion trailer (M747) is 11.5' wide and 42.5' long. The M911 is very easy and comfortable to drive, although a bit loud. Hearing protection recommended.

What, no dual rear wheels?

The duals were removed for highway use and loaded in the duece bed.

can I ask what you have to give for it? I saw 3 of them just sell on GL for over 18k.

 

[M1075]

If you saw 3 sell on GL for $18K, then I paid too much!

Duece was priced at $6500, but I negotiated it down some.

Hey James, nice equipment! Looks like they belong together.
Did you hook up the brakes on the deuce?

Notice that you have a tachograph installed, how do you like it? I have one and am considering using it in my 8x8 when it gets going.

Duece was priced at $6500, but I negotiated it down some.

no they were around 18.5k each and I didn't look and see what they closed at.

Never tried to hook up the brakes on the duece. I figured the M911 could handle it! I look forward to doing some more towing with air lines soon. The tachograph is cool, but I need to set the clock.

BTW, thanks for the tip on installing the tow bar adapters!

that duece looks like a toy behind that thing.

I bet that 8V92 sounded great... Long live 2-stroke Detroits!

YOU HAVE A HETT?????
YOUR OWN PERSONAL HETT?????The green eyed monster is kicking my butt. ARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH
You must be single or married to the most understanding woman in the world.
Do you have a way to make it pay for it's self? Do you write it off you taxes?
Inquiring (envious) minds want to know.

The last 4 M911s on GL went for $37500 each on 10/27 event#2662

Who in the civilian world buys HETT's? Deep woods loggers I guess? Too wide for highway use without a constant overwidth permit.
