Hello,
Hope I'm posting in the right area. Ibe doen a quick search and not able to figure this out, so if anyone could provide some info or point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated!
I've got an M35A2 and need to transport it about 25 miles. The flame heater is leaking and other than that its sat for the last 6 years. It was running fine a couple years ago, but I dont want to risk the drive.
I live in california, so just renting a gooseneck to load it onto is impossible due to weights and lengths and license restrictions.
I have a 2000 F350 crew cab dually with turbo diesel, and she should be up to the task, but it looks like the only trailer I can rent is a bumper pull trailer. I have always used 5th wheel or gooseneck for "larger" loads.
My question are:
1. Would a bumper tow trailer with correct ratings and dimensions be safe?
2. Does anyone know how much weight is over the front end and back end of a deuce? Should I pull forward or back the deuce on the trailer for weight distribution reasons? Worried about how much weight would be in the tongue/hitch.
I'm just concerned about a bumper tow on this one. Maybe if I had a dump truck or larger tow rig I'd feel better.
Thanks for any info.
Jeff
