M35 ON A TRAILER

[JEEPGUY]

Hey guys,
just wondering if a m35 would fit on a 20ft trailer 8ft wide ???

triple axle too.

just trying to figure out how i'm gonna get her home.

thanks in advance,
matt

Yeah, it should! You may have overhang but the truck will roll up on the trailer. Have a looksee at the numbers!

I haved hauled them on a 20' gooseneck just fine and my new to me trailer is a 22'

Yep it should work no problems, just take a spare tire for the trailer if traveling a distance..

Two spares is smarter...

AMEN!!

I just measured an M35A2 tonight for my own reasons- 16' from about 8" behind the centerline of the rearmost axle to the centerline of the front axle. 19' from about 8" behind the centerline of the rearmost axle to the face of the front bumper. Eyeballing that bumper measure.

I believe my buddies was a 24' drag when we brought mine home.

This doesen't really fit here but since we are showing pictures of Dueces on trailers here goes. This is the Duece I sold RDixieMiller all loaded and ready to go. Notice all the antique tractor goodies loaded in, under and around the Duece that are going to a sale In Roberts hometown. Its on my 37 foot gooseneck behind a 98 Chevy one ton crew cab dually with 454 motor. It took $150.00 dollars in gas for the two hundred mile trip.

How was the braking capability with your dually? I have a friend with a F450 Superduty Diesel with 5 wheel and he tows a JD650 Dozer on his trailer.. But he says watch out on the hills because the weight really pushes the limits on the F450.

I don't like the brake controller I have now because it apllies the brakes gradually. At slow speeds the brakes are strong but at higher speeds you have to wait for them to apply. You really have to watch what is coming or you could get in a bind real quick.

deuce

I brought this deuce 200 miles behind a 97 Dodge dually diesel with about 2000 lbs extra pices in the bed.

most of the controllers i have seen have an adjustable application delay along with the regular gain adjustment.

I bought a high priced one last time thinking it would be better. It may have some adjustment but it is set up to apply presure according to how hard the truck is breaking. If i brake the truck hard it displays higher numbers on the screen. If I apply the brakes gradually it shows lower numbers on the power screen. I need to read the manual again and see if I missed something.

 

[DaveP]

may be the type that operates off a pendulum design. the harder the tow vehicle brakes the further the pendulum swings and applies more brake. these type have to be installed and adjusted correctly to work propperly.

The better ones have a true accelerometer in them that's more dependable than a pendulum. the Tekonsha Prodigy that I have in my Deuce is one of those.

 

[poppop]

Prodigy is what I have now.
