What do y'all suggest as a minimum length? I would think that an SDL/SEL would be the longest thing hauled.
My 18' trailer's as short as I'd recommend. It has lots of other uses than hauling cars, and you can haul a car and an extra engine or tranny on it, things like that. It's hauled hay, wood, furniture, junk, etc. Oh, and a few cars.
If there is no winch, where do you mount one? A lot of the winches seem to be 2,000 lb...a W126 is heavier than that and a 116 300SD is probably even heavier...will a 3,000 lb. winch do the job?
I welded a HF 1-tonner to the front rail. You're not hanging the car from a tree to gut it, you're dragging it up the ramps. The length of which will determine how easy the pull is. That HF worm gear jobbie I used is what I'd consider the minimum. I keep a wrench on the trailer so I can remove the worm gear, which allows for quick spooling and unspooling. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
