Howdy fellers, Its been a while been on here! Been working on 50 miles of line that was taken out by the F5 tornado that destroyed the town of Greesburg! Tell me, did you guys here about it, just curious to see how far the news went. But ne ways, I was gonna load my M on my trailer but no cigar. My tires are just a little bit to wide to go between the fenders. So I have been trying to decide how to get my back wheels on the front side of the fenders so I can even up my load. Should I cut the fenders and make them removable or make a ramp to get me up over the fenders? And the fenders are to the outside of the frame. And no I don't want to turn my hubs around because I like the looks of it this way! Any Ideas are welcomed!

Thanks DEREK

Using 2 x 6's or 2x 8's to build up the trailer bed to the height of the fender and tapering each layer works, as long as you don't try to load in the rain. If the wood gets wet, don't try to load. The rear wheels of the tractor will not climb on wet wood. I know, I tried and the tractor slid sideways off the wood and nearly tipped over off the side of the trailer.

I haul M's all the time with my 1/2 ton GMC on a 7000 lb, 83 inch wide trailer. My main M has centers off of a 400 and I have the rims set in. It goes right in between the fenders. I also have 2 wood blocks I use for wide ones. They are 6 foot long, 8 inches high and 8 inches wide tapered on one end. I drive up on them and and the tire overhangs the fender somewhat. It works well. My GMC has the new 327 gasoline engine an I have no trouble pulling it or stopping it here in the hills of Western Pa.

I have seen a guy haul a wide tractor on a car trailer by building some blocks that were the same height as the fenders and tapered like a ramp on the back side. The blocks were placed just inside the fenders and supported the weight of the tractor while letting the tires hang over the fenders.

Hate to tell you Derek but you just have too small a trailer..... you need a deck over to hall a M ..... you can hall a H but not the M.....even if you could get the rear wheels over the finders you would have too much weight on the hitch.....loading weight on back end not a good idea..... .you need a larger trailer,been there done that....not safe.....

I live in Garden City, about 100 miles east of you. That tornado and aftermath have been on the national news about every day since then. Worst thing that happened in this area in 50 years. You can reverse one wheel on your M and make it fit. But if you don't like both reversed (I don't either), and you haul a lot, you have to do that every time. Some people load from the front. Others that have strong fenders attempt to drive over them or rest the rears on the fenders themselves, I definitely do not recommend that. Basically, if you have a 3/4 ton pickup, you need a gooseneck or an over the axles type trailer. Those are too heavy for a half ton. I consider an M to be too much for a half ton anyway, (possibly not for the latest models). AND, unless you have a load equalizing hitch, with the rear in front of the fenders there will be too much weight on the back of your pickup.

I turn one wheel around to load mine on the 6 foot 10 trailer. I built me one to solve that problem. It is 8 and 1/2 feet and works good.
