would this work? M105 behind M101

[SETOYOTA]

I won a M101 and a M105 on Thursday 3-19-09. I have limited space on my trailer so I was thinking I could load the M101 first and load the 105 with its lunette eye sild into the 101s bed ofcourse with the landing leg lifted or perhaps with both landing legs in the stowed position nose down with one trailer pushed under the other.

Can you picture this?

I know a 101 will fit inside a 105 but I'm not sure GL will lift the 101 for me and put it in the 105.

The trailer is 18 feet

I don't know what else you might have loaded on the trailer - but if it's just the two trailers, I would load the big one first, lash it down with its butt in the air, then scoot the M101 in under it. If you have a bunch of other stuff on the trailer, you could load the M105, and secure it pointing forward with its nose up, and then use a come-along or Hi-Lift jack to load the M101 into the bed of the M105.

This is one way I transported two M101A2 trailers from Iowa to south Florida. My trailer is 18 feet. I used the flat part of the trailer which is 16 feet. You will have a tight fit, but should work out fine.

Whether i desribed it correctly or not that is what I was talking about. a picture is worth a 1000 words

Here is a picture of my 101 loaded tongue forward and the 105 behind it also tongue forward on my 18 foot trailer.

This looks the best just make sure you secure,secure, and secure! ! !

Here is a pic of 2 M101's on a 16 foot trailer. I dont think you will have any problems.

The pictures look like you "got it done". My only concern would be with the distribution of the load, and setting the tongue weight for good stability at speed. I usually like to have around 60% of the load weight ahead of the axles - and with an M105 loaded behind an M101, my own 2-axle trailer might just have negative tongue weight. I hate it when the "tail wags the dog"!
