tkobes43 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Do you think my trailer can hold it? Making the treck from fairfield NJ to Sparta, Nj to build a driveway for my mom. Its 500 extra bucks to get it delivered and picked up from hertz equipment rental. Thats insane. Rather do it myself. If any of you can give me advice cause this is my first haul hauling a heavy piece of equipment....Thanks Tommy Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Ok heres what you need to do. First. get your big boy pants on hook up the Cornbinder to the gooseneck and drag it down the road. you do not want my opinion on chaining as I always over kill. but 2 front,either cross or pulled sideways,2 in the back cross chained, 1 over each bucket. Over kill yes but it will not go anywhere. 2nd. if you don't fell comfortable pay the 500.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 That backhoe should weigh around 15000 lbs plus or minus 1000 lbs depending on the set up, I would pull it with my 1 ton pick up, but then it is a Chevy with a Duramax, pulled my B61 that weighs about that or more a little more with the cruise set at 74, 231 miles. Chain down good, center your load on the trailer watch out for your dipper boom streach it out, that back hoe is just over 11 feet tall, my JD backhoe has the ROPS, no cab so when I haul it around I am not concerned about height. Watch how you load and off load on the trailer with the angle, and location being level or sloped up the backhoe has a tendancy to drag on the road/ground when when on ramps Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

slpwlker Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Idk if they load anything not on there trailer. But you can find out.just put it in first maybe drop the backhoe bucket down curled up and put positive pressure to keep the wheels down. and run it down as you go up. Idk been a long time since I have loaded anything on a gooseneck trailer that wasn't a lowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 SlpwlkrI am out on the east side by the 1-70 petro (Iowa 80) exit 28, let me know next time I can buy you a coffee.. I will have my daily helper with and he will be happy that we are going for coffee. When ever we go there he gets an ice cream from the DQ so he is always asking to go get coffe or fuel.

Jamied625 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 What is the trailer rated for weight wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumperAndSon Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm with y'all on the loading/unloading. When Watts brought our backhoe home on their DM rollback, Dustin had to tilt the bed down till the bucket hit the ground then he drove the truck out from under it, which was kind of a project. But he and I took care of it and all was well. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If the trailers a tandem dually you will be fine. It should have the 12.5k axles on it. I haul our 310se with my 1 ton Dodge everywhere with no problems. We put 21,000 to 22,000 worth of hay on ours running around the fields and back roads.Ben Quote 1962 B733 L cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speweik Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I load rubber tire tractors and backhoes on my gooseneck regularly with no problem. Just have to be careful and take your time. Make sure the weight rating of your trailer can handle it. One trick I use is to back the trailer into a swail to get it lower to the ground. As we all know, a few extra inches can make a big difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not that you wouldn't enjoy operating the equipment, but if you have to pay transport and rental it might be quicker and cheaper just to have the job done. I cannot imagine any driveway taking a good operator more than 8 hours. Most rubber tired TLB's are less than $100.00 per hour in our area. Do the math before you commit.
