Reference post 17: the front support leg on a M105 can be folded up parallel to the ground to increase ground clearance. This task is made easier if you keep the retractable lock handle well oiled.

Thank you!

Here’s my MTO20, pretty much an M322. Tows excellent behind my MTVR, I love it. ABS, great brakes, LED lighting, ability to load without truck attached, spring assisted ramps.

Still gotta be a man to raise those ramps!

He's got triple springs which means even a senior citizen could lift those

Backing the M105 behind an MTVR would be interesting. I used one behind my HEMTT and hated it. I upgraded to an M1082 FMTVT unit and it is much easier to back. If you are looking for a cargo trailer it may be the best or an M1095 for the MTVR. Just my opinion, you mileage may vary.....

Just picked up my M332. Here it is behind my MK30. I’ll say these trailers are much taller than they look in pictures. Probably be fine for hauling a bobcat or a tractor but a large Backhoe or taller equipment might be too tall for the road. Could take down a few phone drops for sure. But my overall opinion is that all trailers should be made this well designed. The kickstand in the rear, The button on the trailer to set the brakes, The many Tiedowns, I work harder to get the ramps down than pull them up because of the springs are so good, and my favorite thing I noticed and I was actually going to add-it already has a winch/crane that can be stuck in three different places on the trailer to lift material on and off.

They were designed to haul the CAT 420 backhoe. They work well enough you can swap to 255 70 225s in dual and bring the deck down almost 5 inches.

It's easy to overload the tongue weight on one.

Thanks, Good to know! 5” lower gets it where I feel more comfortable.

We just got a MK593 to go behind our MK30. It's a pretty interesting cargo trailer. Significantly different than the M1095 Army trailer.

I seen many Marine photos of the 7 Ton pulling a M105A2. I have both so I will get a photo of them together and post it.

Yes, we pulled M105A2 trailers on a daily basis in the Marines. I hauled ammo mostly the last few years, and the EET is the one I pulled the most. The M105 trailers we used mostly for specialty rounds other than HE, and powder and fuses. Great trailers to sleep in, but as the driver I always slept in the cab or on the hood if it was hot enough at night.

Would the higher mounting of the pintle affect the load capacity on the trailer?

I know the mtvr wont care and will pull it even if its missing a wheel.

We had one loaded with illum rounds turn on its side behind an MK23 at night on 29 Palms. The driver didn't even know it till we got him on comms to stop.
