    "Farm Use"... As a 14 year old, during the summer of 1975, I drove my uncles 1958 IH two axle truck, with a dual axle flat bed trailer five miles back and forth between his barn and his hay field. My uncle loaded hay bales onto the trailer with his tractor and I drove the truck and trailer back to the barn and my cousin unloaded the hay bales into the barn. We did this for two weeks. Of course, the truck had no brakes and you had to remove the plywood covering the windshield on the passenger side before you moved the truck. Yup, farm use.

      I dunno what the rules are today,but in the 60’s in England a 15 year old with a farm/tractor licence could drive on the road 3 miles between fields/farms. So if you had a string of fields…. legal driving age on 4 wheels being 17 at the time, probably still is.

It soaks in and isn't slippery in a couple days, and things do not rust or rot. White oak can split/check apart. Its why furniture isn't made from white oak, so ive been told by sawmill guy and an arborist.

    Excited to see the transformation! Now, I just want to add something.. as a trucker here in the United States, my thing is hauling oversized/overweight loads.. I have a big Peterbilt and a Fontaine tri-axle lowboy. My tare weight is 44,500lbs. Now, I am not that familiar with Ontario, but down here if I am hauling a piece of equipment and my gross weight exceeds 80,000lbs, I am not allowed to have more than one thing on the trailer at a time. That creates a divisible load and that is illegal in most jurisdictions. So, let's say your tare weight is similar to mine, add the tank at 50k, you're sitting at 95,000lbs gross. That makes you not only overwidth but overweight as well. And that would mean you cannot haul your Bronco on the back of the trailer. 2 separate pieces, overweight load, that means you're divisible. Again, I am not that familiar with Ontario, but here in the states, that is a BIG no-no. Even something as simple as a spare tire, a set of forks to go with a loader, tracks for a machine that are loosely on your deck, that all makes you divisible and will get you parked and out of serviced by the police.

    You're going to need weight permits in the US, too, if the trailer weighs 20K, and the tank weighs 50K, plus whatever the cab over weighs. In most of the US, the highway weight limit is 80K. Some states have bridge laws that allow for more weight without permiting, but you're going to need more axles.

  • @MrTurtlekid434

    Might run into some trouble of your try and haul the tank and the bronco at the same time on the same trailer. At least here in the states most "oversize" loads must be non-divisable (not able to be reduced) that normally means only one peice of equipment at a time

    • @farmerbill6855

    • @mattshrader4381

      The non-divisible part only applies to the oversize piece itself. You can have an oversize item and a non oversize item on the same trailer, or multiple oversize items that have been reduced to their smallest dimension. You cannot however have multiple items that would normally be legal dimension loaded in a way that exceeds legal dimensions, or have an oversize item with an easily removable attachment that increases its dimensions attached.

    • @abpsd73
      @abpsd73 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The oversize would be for the tank height/width, the bronco would be along for the ride as long as the weights are correct. Say if the tracks were removable or the cab/bed was removable, then yeah it would be considered as divisible.

    • @billysims9298
      @billysims9298 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@DGHD I'd still keep the pony motor though, just plumb in a valve so you can use either. That's how our Aspen is set up and the even though our main lowboy trucks have PTOs the pony motor has still come in handy a few times. I'd also look at adding some chain baskets in the deck when you have the whole thing apart. It's way more convenient to have the chains close to where you use them vs up in the neck.

    Here in the UK as long as the brakes sort of work you are legal towing such things with an agricultural tractor, you don't need to have anything on the trailer as you could be collecting something or coming back from delivery. One farmer near me uses such a trailer to move a 360 excavator around, which is used for ditch maintenance etc.

    Witzco's are cheap but they're not a bad trailer for the money, the biggest problem is the ground bearing neck. As far as putting those axles together when I was looking at doing a complete axle rebuild I just opted for new complete axles that came with everything. 4 years ago they were $1200 each now they're $1850 each.

    If you enter the United States I think you would need an overweight permit as well. 80K is the limit without one. You said the trailer is 20K and the tank is 50K. I'm pretty sure the tractor is more than 10K

    You might be the first truck driver ever to think about railroad crossings before hitching up, great to hear it. The car or truck always loses in a crossing accident but the train doesn't win, hitting a large vehicle has the potential to cause a derailment and injure or kill the train crew as well.

  • @queeg6473
    @queeg6473 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the UK we have a similar "grey area". We can legally drive any vehicle to a Pre-booked MOT (government test) as long as it's not dangerously falling apart, we can also drive it home again even if it fails, AND take it to a mechanic to be fixed, AND home again before taking it to another Pre-booked test. All completely legal. Nowhere does the law have a limit on the distance.......I know someone who Pre-booked his MOT into a garage 100 miles away, got stopped by the cops on the way for no MOT certificate or Road Tax (which you can't get without an MOT certificate) but they couldn't charge him with anything as it was legal ! He had just finished a 5 year rebuild so the car was in really good condition. You do have to have the vehicle insured though.

You can move some weird things down a road, just make sure you have your magic hay bale and orange triangle.

    I don't know about your haybale theory, sir.
    MAYBE if the FMCSA stopped you, you could talk them into it.
    But if you had a wreck, if that trailer is not mechanically sound, it could cost you everything.
    Oh, you are going to PULL it with the farm tractor? Genius.
    I agree with your "Grey area" theory - I don't know from the Great White North, but I don't think a cop in the states would have ticketed you.
    I love it - it's just the right trailer for moving the Sherminator.
    I look forward to seeing the old tank chassis at a show someday.
    that box filled with ratchet straps is almost better than cash.
    I can't wait to see the Sherminator going down a highway near me!
    Of course, I'll look close to see if you have the right amount of chains on it!
    At 21:30 - that's a nice looking old Ford (Is that called an L9000?)
