Default Loading

My neighbors like to load stuff up and take it to the sand dunes on the other side of the state (Michigan.) Since I've lived here (5 years) they always load crap this way. This is the rig that the kid is driving today, being pulled by a F450. Mind you the way the trailer is sitting is how it goes down the road. He unlocks and drives forward. The rear of the trailer is only about a foot off the ground. There is a Rzr thing on the front, then a golf cart, and finally a Jeep. No matter what they haul they put the heaviest thing barely on the rear of the trailer. I don't know how they haven't 1) killed themselves and/or 2) kill someone else.

doesn't look like the front end of that cavalier would handle much tongue weight anyway. i do agree thats not how id load it, id put the golf cart on sideways in the front followed by the jeep then the razor, i bet that things a handful every time they go over a bridge.

Jeep would be in front or at least the middle. I don't like that trailer--too low. As long as it is the builder should have raised the floor another foot, too easy for the back end to drag. It don't look much higher than my 18 ft trailer. The way he is loaded looks like a jacknife situation if he slams on brakes, not enough weight on the truck.

As long as he has functioning electric actuated trailer brakes, it is loaded just fine.
The Jeep appears to be enough forward to have most of its weight above the trailer axles.
The trailer likely weighs near as much as that load.

Go visit Silver Lake where he is headed and see how stuff is hauled in.
The D.O.T. police would piss their pants.

Yeah thats what think too , bet you could get a trampoline effect with the axles lightly loaded and the frame springing also hard on the frame
There was a guy here years ago drove a ivco 6 wheeler with a 45 ft big steel trailer 5th wheeled up guess he wanted to be a truck driver all his life. It had to be so dangerous ,bet the trailer was so he had back brakes
I saw this truck stopped one day by trucking cops and they were taking pics of it and smiling like now ive seen it, all, or the guys back at the, station have to see this one .

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
