Do you all have those mini roll-off dumpster where you are? I pull a few on occasion and this morning picked one up that had some concrete and dirt in it. I had painted lines on the inside of the can so the guys would know where the over load level was. It was loaded about right. They had it loaded a bit heavy to the front but that happens sometimes and is actually better than being loaded too heavy in the back.
I got it winched up on the trailer, it felt a little heavy but it towed pretty good. The front tires were a little light on traction but just enough to remind me to be cautious.
I drove maybe five miles or so to the dump site and just as I stopped prior to pulling onto the scales, the front tires skidded a bit, something went "FLUMP" and made a dragging sound.
Uh Oh, no good.
As it turns out, after traveling five miles through town and a few back roads, the hitch folded up after I reached my destination.
The truck is a spare that I put on the road a few months ago until I get one of the four wheel drives back on the road.
Careful out there, you never know when you'll be sharing the road with questionable equipment.
I've been dragging trailers all over heavens half acre for fifteen or twenty years. At one time I had ten total trailers with active registration so I wouldn't exactly call my self a rookie.
