is it possible to pull an empty mk17 without crane with an m880 series truck
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Do you know how big those things are? Probably not the best idea. IF you do it, I want to see some pics!there is a pintle hitch on the trailer and use truck brakes to stop
If I remember correctly (again) there were quick disconnect air and hydrolic lines on the trailer.there is a pintle hitch on the trailer and use truck brakes to stop
I hope he was meaning an 800 series 5 ton......if he is talking about a Dodge pickup I have to agree that that would not work.Dude, that trailer weighs more than five time the weight of your M880.
I would do that before I'd hook that monster to my truck and actually rely on the truck to pull it, track it, and stop it. You still had control of the steering and braking of that M813. That MK17 is going to have control of that M880 too, except its not going to have a driver!I had a Chevy 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton pull start my 21,000 lbs M813. He was spinning the he!! out of his tires, and I'm not sure I've seen a pickup torqued quite like this one. But it worked!! Thank goodness for good samaritans that aren't afraid to work the sh*t out of a pickup.
I imagine an M880 pulling an Mk17 might look something like that. It's probably not something you'd want to do to your pickup on a regular basis.
