Cecil,

I have a FL70 with Cat 3126 and Spicer 7 speed, along with KW W9 series sleeper on it. It pulled my bumper pull 20 ft trailer with my EcoDeisel on the trailer and it would easily do 80 if I got carried away and not watching my speed. If you or someone is interested in it let me know.

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....

I'll pass it along here Cecil...
I also have one pasture boarding client who has a lot of connections both at and away from the track and around several states.

I don't worry much about trailer theft. They would first have to change 2 or 3 tires. If it was dark they would be pulled over for no lights and in daylight no plate.
Then they would have  to have wrenches to operate that "temporary" repair to the coupler.
That is a lot of trouble for a $100 trailer with bad fenders and holes in the floor...   :-)

Thanks, hopefully, as specialized as some of that equipment is, they'll be stupid enough to post it to Craigslist.

The specialized veterinary equipment will be the key to finding out those responsible.  There have been a lot of trailer thefts here lately.   I got a satellite tracker to put on my new hauler trailer.  It is a 30ft pintle hitch with hydraulic jacks and 10ft. hydraulic tail.  It can be hooked up and gone in 3 minutes...

I don't usually forward things, but I don't do facebook.  The Oklahoma large animal first responders is a volunteer group who rescue and care for horses and livestock that are displaced during natural disasters in Oklahoma and surrounding states.  They have done a lot of work here with the many tornadoes we have....     Someone broke into one of their rescue trailers and stole some very expensive and unique equipment.  I would appreciate it if you guys would spread this across the country so these guys cannot sell this without being caught...

I know many of you have horses....  I have a couple of those pasture ornaments also..
