    25,999 gross combined weight meaning truck and trailer is the non cdl cutoff and why the whole dump craze took off years ago as cdl drivers were hard to find, so a ram 3500 dually 1ton dump has a max of 14k gvw and leaves 12k for a trailer, thats excluding a landscapers 4 man crew.5500 series truck at 19,500 gvw forget about it unless you want to pull a t/s single axle.

    How does big tex feel about you saying the tires they supply on the 14lb are inadequate and will shred on the highway?

    Reason most guys buy a 14LP is due to mcsap regulations. Most guys don't want to deal with the cdl and workers having them.

    Do you guys have any of the dump trailers with landscape gates you can do a video on? Pros and Cons? Love your videos keep it up

      Thank you Jeromee. We're glad you like the videos. We do carry trailers like you mentioned and would see if we can do a quick video on it.

    Do you need a CDL to haul either one of these trailers?

    • @mainstreetmower
      @mainstreetmower  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If your vehicle weight + gross trailer weight is over 26,000 you will need a CDL. Vehicles like F-250 & F-350 can range between 6,500 - 11,000lbs (you should be able to find this on the inside of your driver door) add either 14,000 or 16,000 to your vehicle weight.

      If you only pull it with a mini van, you should be fine.

    Never mentions to subtract tongue weight. So misleading.

    • @mainstreetmower
      @mainstreetmower  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you are speaking of transfer weight or pin weight, that is for gooseneck weight ratings only and doesn’t factor into bumper pull trailers. Please learn me otherwise

    • @rouxdogee
      @rouxdogee 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Show me where it states that tongue weight is only for goosenecks. If you have any tongue weight than that's weight that applied to the tow vehicle and NOT the trailer suspension.
      Also dozers don't carry anything.

    • @mainstreetmower

      We agree that some amount of the load is being shared by the tow vehicle, but some regulating bureau that makes the rules, probably DOT has determined that it can’t be added to the GVWR. We aren’t the ones to say, “ignore this sticker, your truck is carrying some of the weight so feel free to exceed these limits”

    • @payakadventures
      @payakadventures ปีที่แล้ว

      Tongue weight has nothing to do with gvwr combination or trailer gvw. Tongue weight is all determined by placement of load which should be around 10% of your load. Tongue weight with vary depending on what you are hauling.

    Yeah you put bad tires on them at least you admit it that’s horrible and unsafe by your own omission not smart. 😮

    • @mainstreetmower
      @mainstreetmower  ปีที่แล้ว

      If you are planning to max out your load capacity and drive on the highway, upgraded tires are a good idea. We are just advisors

  • @BubblesandthePurrMonster

    Either one 14LP or 16LP both are terrible options if they’re made by big Tex.

      Really? What's it that you do not like about Big Tex?
