Is a tandem axle dually? What is that like a 19 ton trailer?
Maybe not... Looks like the same trailer that I pull behind dump truck!!!

Its a 30Klb (capacity) dual tired tandem. Usually has a massey ferguson 2745 tractor on it, being pulled by a Ford F-800 Dump. It weighs roughly 7Klbs by itself. When I bought my 85' u-hual wouldnt rent to me because they claimed the 85' was too heavy for the trailor. So, I borrowed the tandem from a friend. :D

Went over the scales at a hair over 20Klbs, and to boot, I got 13.4MPG towing it. :thumbs: Total trip (Easton, MA to Rutland, VT and back) was roughly 400 miles.

The real fun was when I went to pick it up, the dang thing was sunk into the mud. 4WD-Lo to the rescue! If you look at my front tire in the picture you can see how the tires where just caked in mud.
