I'm in Canada and it's seems like a lot but it's not heavy, Very light load. We are able to pull 43ton gross with this setup. With truck and quad we can haul around 60ton gross or about 40ton payload.

If you stay turned in hard to your jack knife you wont catch that tail gate on your reach when pulling away. And make a habit of lowering that box just a wee bit when the rest of the load slides just as a precaution due to unlevel ground.. We drive 8 axle truck and pups in my state so this is a very common occurance if you dont practice those two precautions. Nice job tho driver...What state are you from that you can carry so much material. our limit here is 105,500 so 32 ton after tare.

@trainzz58 I have hooked the reach a few times pulling away because of the angle the pup was sitting on when I dumped the truck. The highlift is sure nice I have to admit. Thanks for the comment. Take care.

That's one nice thing about having a hydraulic tail gate is that you don't have to worry about it catching on the tongue of the pup when you pull away. None of the trucks at my work are like that and we've already had a couple of them bend the tailgate pulling away. But nice job backing to the drivers side! :)

@oilerman9406 Nope, horse manure/shavings.
-
what is that? Compost
-
@frosty012 With truck and trailer we are licensed for 60T. So about 40T of material give or take after taking away the tare weight of the truck and trailer which is about 19.5T.
-
@willingtowork you must be able to get a fair bit in a full size quad box. what is it rated for?
-
@frosty012 So true. But then again the quad I pull makes the box on the truck look small.
-
wow! do those gravel boxes ever make a pup look small!
-
thats a nice unit you had there. pony gate on both truck and pup! right arm
-
@vernjr88 Thanks for the compliment. I am trying to learn to reverse a truck with a quad trailer. Not easy and very frustrating. Hopefully the light will go on and it will come as second nature. I need plenty more practice.

@AaronDittmer Yes you have no idea. Surpassingly it doesn't smell that bad. Maybe I am just immune to it. Thanks for the comment. Love you vids by the way. Take care.
