*WARNING for all you virgin ears, there is an f-bomb in here. For some reason I thought I should forwarn...
Anyway, this is me. I have pulled the truck by itself before, (14,400 lbs) and made it a decent distance. This is my first time pulling with trailer. Tipping the scales at 27,120 pounds. My goal was ten feet, and I did better than that. In all honesty I could have gone a little farther, but the truck was veering off course so I had to stop.
Gah! Give youtube a bit to do its thing....
You just need to put the 'F9iPUMBzDBc&' in the youtube tags.
But... HOLY CRAP lol, that's nuts! haha It seems like once you get it rolling it's much easier.

I'd hope so! The amount of dynamic friction compared to static friction is pretty big, once you over come static friction, things are easier to get moving.Quote:

Fixed it, thanks Collins..
Anyway, of course the hardest part is getting it started, but that doesn't mean it gets any lighter just cause it's moving lol.
After this I'm going to use a different trailer, which will push me over 30,000 lbs :up:
clearly you sir are some kind of robot. ;)
Whoa! I think I saw your balls fall off!
/\ lmao
If anyone is interested, I made a new personal best. 44,000 pounds, for 50 feet. Gotta get better distance though...
I've just found a way to increase the gas milage on my 2,200lb sub compact
Mark, do you work for beer or pizza?
