PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler

Should have known to look on his channel. Love his vids. That thing would probably be pretty simple to make too. Much easier to hide a winch than a screwdrive lift.

Let me put on my lab coat here and talk some theory on the physics with the model:
If the weight of the 850D excavator is supported entirely by the trailer/jeep, you would need to add more weight to the truck to efficiently pull the load correct? Or add a weight box to the extended neck?

the idea is to uniformly distribute the weight on all axles including the tractor . placement of the 5th wheel is crucial ( hence the sliding 5th wheel plate ) Here in PA ( last time I moved a permit load ) , we're alowed 20,000# per axle at a given distance appart ( I gotta find my PA DOT book ) . If you look at the position of the 5th wheels on the aspen set up ,it transfers enough weight to the tractor .

The winch isn't a required bit. The guys up north use winches to pull the trailer up the ramps to save the driveline in less than ideal conditions.
