[AT] Theft of horse rescue equipment. OT

[Cecil Bearden]

2 years ago I decided I was old enough to enjoy a trailer like I had 
always wanted. I wanted a hydraulic tilt tail, a winch, and hydraulic 
jacks.  I would have liked a gooseneck, but I have a truck that will 
eventually be a gin pole truck and a pintle hitch would work better.  I 
also have a 55000lb pintle hitch low boy trailer I pull with an L9000 
Ford semi tractor.   The one I really wanted was a custom built 
gooseneck and the tail had a frame inside the frame rails that slid back 
hydraulically  to lock the front and back together.   I got the estimate 
and it was $21500. A local trailer company had this one on craigslist at 
"cost" due to ordering it for a guy for a new dozer and the dozer was 
heavier than he thought.  They credited him back with this one and 
ordered a new one.    It had set on the lot for nearly a year and they 
marked it down to $10900.  22000# 30ft hyd jacks and tail and solar 
charger.   No winch.  I had a new milemarker 13000# winch. I installed 
it and it worked 3 times before it quit.  I installed a new speedway I 
got on ebay for half price of the milemarker and it has never failed..  
The hydraulic tail only hauls 4000# at the center of the tail, but will 
lift 10000# to get there.  It pulls great and stays hooked up to my 98 
Chevy single axle C8500 w/ 3126B Cat and allison 6spd.   It is great for 
hauling hay from the field as my wife can drive the truck without 
shifting, and the Air conditioner works....   Gotta keep the boss 
happy.!!..  Out on I-40 going west with a cab tractor on the trailer, 
the cat motor is gutless due to the upgrade and constant wind sometimes 
50mph is all it will do.  A real problem with all those trucks.  On the 
return East, it will keep up at 70mph...  The old L9000 has a 3406 Cat 
and 12spd Spicer  I have never had a problem with keeping up to speed.   
When I ever get a round TUIT,  I will have my FLC 80 Freightliner w/ 400 
Cummins and 13spd going.  It will fly....
