if coons are eating the wires, try not parking it next to the watermelon patch.Originally Posted by DRAGOONRANCH
sharpe said his trailer has a 10400 lb load rating. this i assume is from the two 5200 lb rated axles. so i would assume the load rating to be 10400 - the weight of the trailer. lets just say its a thousand pounds. that would leave 9400 pounds that the axles can hold until they reach there limit. this doesnt even take into account the fact the the axles arent always evenly loaded, so it might be a good idea to leave a bit of cusion in your load so that when one axle has more than its "half" its not beign overloaded. Unless they have a lower rating for the axles when used in tandem, eg the same axle in single application is rated for 5500 pounds.
done.
funny thing is - sharpe walked by when i started this post, so weve had an entire discussion about his work schedule to boot. he didnt seem interested in trailer talk.
