The math does not add up....

[Maxtor]

Our truck will pull 15,000 lbs.
Our car trailer is good for 10,000 lbs. minus weight of trailer 2000 lbs. =8000 lbs.

Just got a call, and can get a great deal on a D9 Cat.
It weighs 70,000 lbs. ,,, just 62,000 lbs. over my trailer.
55,000 lbs. over my truck.

Hey Bama,,, numbers just don't add up...

Guess I am going to have to hire a big truck

I think I could pull it, for a small fee...

That would be great... Although our trailer would be about 1" tall after loading the D9.

The trailer that they haul my machine on has 18 inches of blocking under each neck and the bottom of the trailer is 2 feet off the ground. when i load my machine on the trailer there is 3.5 feet of blocking under each neck and the trailer is 6 inches off the ground. Oh yeah my machine weighs 369.000 lbs haha

I think 70,000 might be stripped. Does it have a blade or ripper on it? If so it will weigh much more than that. A normal D9 in full dress weighs closer to 100,000 if I am not mistaken.

 

[Maxtor]

It has a blade and one ripper tooth. It is in fairly good condition.
I think just one of the tracks would overload our trailer.

 

[Crumm]

How old is it? If it is a newer model I think with the blade and ripper it will be around 105,000. Who told you it weighed 70,000? They were not even close.

What the heck do you need a D9 for? My neighbor next to my shop is an excavation company and has a couple D8's and many D4-D6. Just curious of your use.
