MAX trailer weight
Hey,
What is the max load I can haul with a 6 by 12 landscaping trailer with a single 3500 lb drop axle? This is being hauled by a 98 Dodge ram with 5.9 L V8magnum. Cheers Jeff

With a 6X12, I would say that you should be able to put about 2500 lbs of payload in that trailer and not exceed the 3500 lbs axle weight limit.

Has a mesh gate with 5 solid metal braces. JDJ trailer. Picked up a ramrod today instead of the 463. I could of towed the 463 no problem but MTO (same as DOT just in Canada) would have been up my A$$ since I dont have proper weight registration. The ram rod is a little smaller stand on thing, weighs about 2200 lbs and it was a peice of cake.

Ya I agree its doable but the MTO would have handed down a large fine had they pulled me over lol. No bothering me with the ramrod.
Cheers Jeff
