Would this be heavy enough to haul both?

Heck no, no way. Youre gonna need something bigger. Twice, twice the size! Youre gonna need two. One to put under the right wheels, vice versa. Yall are gonna need road blocks too. This gonna be a big job there bud.

That might work but you should probably have a pusher behind it in case theres any hills ! Ha ha !

It is big enough to haul both as long as it is one at a time.

Make sure you use a couple of nylon straps over the fenders to hold them down.

No problem on the pusher truck. There's one parked right in front of this one same as the Kenworth with huge concrete blocks for weight.

Remember, the weight of the hold down chains have to greater than the weight of the tractor.

Two old tractors might be too light to even use for ballast on that rig.

I am reminded of a saying I heard a little while ago, overkill is under rated, or my favorite when making something, if it is worth building, it is worth overbuilding. Both of which definitely defy todays' engineering standards.

I hope it is a backhaul for the guy. He would probably do it for $1.50 a mile, just to be nice. Bill

Several years ago, I got to see two similar rigs, with transformers, make a 90* turn from one two lane road to another. AWESOME VIEW!

Mammoet out of their New Brunswick branch hauled a big transformer through my town. they stopped for the night at the local state highway shed so I went with some friends to check it out. We were able to talk to the crew and see how their Western Star tractors were specially built for the heavy hauling.
