[cranetruck]

So far, only the cranetruck...and that wasn't planned.

 

[M813rc]

M270A1 and the M128A2C. I suppose I could drag the M105s around too, hadn't tried that yet.

Cheers

(and Pawnshop's M109... Sorry Sam, couldn't resist!)

I have pulled a total of zero on the 270 so far! I just picked it up recently off of Ft Hood, with the intent of transporting my V100 to shows on it, and haven't got the loading ramps made for it yet. The deck is 40' (trailer is 49' total) so it should easily haul two smaller vehicles at a time. It is rated at 12 tons. It is not ideal for what I want to do, but reasonably priced lowboys are in short supply around here at the moment.

The M128 I bought to move house with (it was actually cheaper than renting a U-Haul), but I find I really like it.

Both had been through recent depot and had brand new tires. To make them roadworthy I replaced one tail-light bulb on the 128, and a clearance light bulb on the 270! The 128 had a new ladder in the back.

Cheers

Just a 105, but that trailer is gone now and the 101 is just to small and looks goofy.

(BTW this truck is for sale if anyone decides they need a new toy)

I pulled many things behind my XM818 and my M915.

I have hauled almost 1 million gallons of WVO in my M969 trailer, hauled untold numbers of trucks, scrap rail, and concrete crossties on my M270A1, and just got a M750 trailer to store all my spare parts in. I had a M127 lowboy too, hauled lots of stuff on that but it is sold now.

There are photos here of 5 tons towing M146's

It is kind of funny how some trailers look good and some trailers look like they are going uphill

 

[jdknech]

M131A5C 1967 Tanker and 1954 M269 Wrecker lowboy with ramps added .

Ah! An M269, the shortbed version of the M270. Haven't seen one except in manuals. Very cool.

Cheers
