Went halfway across MO. Tuesday to get this for my Neighbor! IH H-50 ---- nice loader and if I need to use it I can.
About 350 miles one way from here. round trip in 11 hours or so ---interstates most of the way so never stopped once on the way over and only once on the way back cause neighbor got hungry and wanted to eat! lol!
some pix of it after we got home.

That's a heck of a load on a pickup. What you pulling it with. I like that trailer also. Sonny you never cease to amaze me with the variety of equipment you come up with.

Sonny not my place to criticise but that single rear wheel pickup is quite a bit light to be towing a combined weight of 20,000lbs..hopefully you got 'er done safely

neighbors new 250 super duty diesel truck. He has had bigger loads on it, and ya I would need dual rears IF it were mine! Its a heavy spec truck he had set up just for this trailer.--- the seller said the loader weighs 18,000 pounds---I dont have a clue!
We made the trip without any trouble, he ran the 70 mph speed limit both ways, chains stayed tight----life was good! lol!

easy to find data on that old RedPower beast says 16,500 for the loader and estimating 4500 on the trailer..good thing its a gooseneck..nice size machine too,easy to move,no overweight permit required...hopefully diesel as they had a couple options on those,one of 'em was a 3-53 Detroit..as much as I like them I wouldnt want to listen to one all night scooping snow..been there..did it give you much trouble getting it loaded?

This one has the 806 tractor gas engine in it---neighbor didnt want one that had diesel in it. Truck pulled it fine. looked top heavy but really wasnt. The back 10' on his trailer drops for the ramp. I just aimed for the center and drove right on.--- after coming off that 500' cliff,---trailer didnt bother me! lol!
