Put the picture on a separate line and it's easier to read.

double d the hitch is home made . we will try to get pic out soon. The trailer is behind a new holland tn 75. The rear tires weighted. tows nice. Loaded three cords of firewood on the processor on the first trip across the farm. Had to be care full not to jack knife as the tongeu weitght is alot for the tn75. Two large f550 loads. We are getting the f550 hitch lenghten due to the fact that it ends under the bed overhang. Made appointment today at hartford truck. Next week some time. I would have to say that this trailer is two big for a one ton truck. The tounge weight is 1600. Alot for the f350 size truck. If i sat it on the f3 I bet it would be fine unloaded and still making the truck front end light. I believe that the truck gvw should be greater than the trailer. Just makes things safer. The f550 is rated to tow approx17500 and when hooked to this truck it is not even one the helper springs(empty). I would have to say that a little ox would better serve the one ton crowd. Big ox one ton with fifth whell maybe another option. Well thats all for now see ya.

Are you taking advantage of electric trailer brakes when being concerned about jack knifing behind the NH tn75? Seems it might be a life saver. Have seen the unpleasant results of a tractor not holding back its trailer or wagon load when going down hill and jack knifing. Can be brutal.

Looks like an awesome wood hauler.

I tow my little ox with my new 2005 one ton chevy and I will say I sure am glad I didn't go with the big ox. The trailer is great but with a full load of the 1600 bd ft estimated(at least

) I wouldn't want a smaller truck. Lots of shifting on hills and the electric brakes need to be dialed in just right. By the way the little ox has the same beefy loader, though either also has the option of the extenda boom.
