I,m from northern Ill, Have 1 ton and a 30ft flat bed that rolls back, with a large winch. mostly I haul antique tractors but am branching out. I farm by day and haul on weekends. I have been driving semi and hauling equipment both mine and friends for close to twenty years, I won't do it if its not safe, Its just not worth it. thats about all! have a great day.
