is it safe to pull a M348A2 with a deuce?

I hauled a big heavy trailer with mine, would I do it again ? Yes. Would I do it for 320 miles, no way. No how.

Nice looking trailer. Might want to bring a crank for the landing gear. There should be two, one each stored on that cross brace for the landing gear.

I wish I had found this thread earlier. I just won the trailer and am now trying to find a way to get it home. The bobbed deuce will not be making the trip. Any ideas would be helpful. I plan on getting a tractor later, but for now I just need to get the thing home and park it. I will be using it for storage until the tractor arrives later in the year. If anyone has an 818 and wants to make the trip, I will work something out with them. Thanks.

P.S. The trip is 375 miles according to google maps. Let me know what you guys think.

That is the smartest thing that I have heard. Post your request. I'm sure that you will find a good helper. Keep us posted.

OK.... So one more question: What do you guys think about pulling this thing locally with a M275 tractor? I do not do any long distance stuff (Always less than 100 miles from home) and I am never in a hurry. It is also pretty flat here in Southern Illinois. My thoughts are this: M275 weighs 12-13,000 lbs, trailer is 8k empty.... therefore I could legally haul 5 to 6k without getting into the combined weight of <26,000lbs... no CDL required. Am I crazy with this thought or what?

If not, who has a M275 for sale?
