farmer52 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Seeing this picture/thread....I have a question.....How much "twist" can a trailer/fifth wheel take?At the rear of the barn I have a small sloping bank about 3' above the side road that is used as an entrance. I normally use the rear entrance and pull around the barn to the parking area. I swing the truck to the far side of the road and turn left into the entrance. I also tried to "take it at an angle" keeping the truck/trailer as straight as possible. However, I eventually need to turn the truck left to continue into the entrance. Of course the trailer is still at an angle and comes up over the bank which is slightly steeper than the entrance. The rear entrance is not used much and is covered with grass. I go slow but fast enough to prevent loosing traction in the grass. Attaching a pic of the area and approach. The entrance is at the end of the "pole shadow".When I returned from Macungie, I decided to pull into the main entrance and turn around behind the barn. What a frickin' nightmare!!! I did get it turned around but had to pull/back about 20 times. Not much area to manuver. And then there are those ruts from manuvering on the soft grass.

j hancock Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Seeing this picture/thread....I have a question.....How much "twist" can a trailer/fifth wheel take?IMO going "straight in" to your back drive puts more stress into the box. Probably won't cause any harm unless the trailer is fully loaded with Geritol. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

mack mhe9 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hey farmer they can handle a lot more then you would think. As for your yard, the thing to watch is when the trailer gets close to the drive tires. Just like the pic it will pinch them to the ground and then its time call a wrecker. As long as your not going to roll over or spin the tires from pulling the trailer the truck can take it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36136-taadahh/#findComment-250420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMack Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I think that K&B hires only complete dopes. They run a bunch of trucks out of Sara Lee just south west of me and I sweareach driver is dumber than the next. One of the guys was parking in my town for awhile. Left the truck running up town forthree days straight in 40 degree weather. I don't think he was even in the truck the whole time.

As long as your not going to roll over or spin the tires from pulling the trailer the truck can take it.Thanks everyone for the comments. I was concerned about bending/breaking the trailer pin or putting undue stress on the fifth wheel. The only spinning is when I am pulling uphill in the grass. I try to take the slope at a shallow angle rather than a sharp turn.BTW, on the return trip home, the trailer is empty of Geritol.
