As long as you hook up so his brakes function, I'd do it to get him to a safe spot. Just remember how big that load is!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
As long as you can connect brakes you should be fine to get to safe spot. Would move slow and cautiously and you would be fine.So locally we have a guy with a hemtt. The only other MV's around here are m35's. If he broke down, I would assume we shouldn't even attempt it even just to get him off the roadway to a safe spot?? The hemtt is what? 38k lbs?
It is AMASSING what can be found in the -10 ( operators manual), EVEN neat stuff like "HOW TO TOW THE TRUCK", it is a wonder some can even find the start switch.Last question (i promise): at my work when we have a truck break down if we need to move it but the air tanks are empty, we can hook up the glad hands together from one truck to the other to air up the dead truck. Will this work with the hemtt from a deuce so the hemtt has temporary air brakes?
Ken,Now now Ron your supposed to be the kinder gentler Ron lol.
You'd need an air compressor. HahaIn the -10 it don't mention if I can tow a hemtt with my M1008. Is this safe?
Get a heavy and a friend or two.Can a medium tow bar be used for a m931 to hemtt?

Right I assumed that was the most appropriate but speaking as far as road side break down emergency to tow home, assuming the obvious of utilizing hemtt brakes.Get a heavy and a friend or two.
I'm not sure what amassing is? That must be another -10 term I'm not familiar with.It is AMASSING what can be found in the -10 ( operators manual), EVEN neat stuff like "HOW TO TOW THE TRUCK", it is a wonder some can even find the start switch.
NOT safe but can be done in a have to, the only reason it is NOT in the -10 is because the writers of the -10 did not think anyone was DUMB enough to try to tow a HEMMT down the road with a 1008. I know a member that towed a 4 wheel HEMMT trailer about 600 miles from hood with his wife's excursion, not the brightest move for two reasons, #1 the trailer was just a bit heavy for the excursion and #2, his wife FOUND out AFTER the fact what he did and the after conversation on the merits of this idea was not good.In the -10 it don't mention if I can tow a hemtt with my M1008. Is this safe?
Have you seen this? Pretty cool. The drive by at 1:15 is kind of psycho though.
