I have a ford 555 backhoe that I would like to be able to haul with my own small dump truck and trailer. The backhoe weighs 14,000 lbs.
Could you throw some general numbers at me as to trailer empty weights and required truck gross vehicle weights to move this machine.
I had been considering maybe a 25,000 lb gross vehicle weight truck. A older chevy c80 or maybe a c60. I don't have a clue what the truck, trailer and backhoe would weigh. I suspect that this is not nearly enough truck.
I'm not in the business, just want to legally and safely be able to get over to my dad's place etc. At some weight....I guess a CDL becomes a need also.
Thanks for your input.
