I have a Southland dump 7x14 14,000#. Is the economy line, has had some flaws with it right from new. I bought a flat deck Big Tex from FOT trailers in Alberta. The owner there knew the owner of Southland and told me he always gave Southland a hard time for the sometimes low quality.
Hi Stan love the videos, do you know when the artic straight blade truck plow will come out, and if the razorback can come with all of the hydraulics and everything like you would get with a normal plow?
Didn't talk about brakes, axles or why they don't seem to have 17.5 wheels on it? Our Diamond C's both have 17.5 wheels and those are the way to go when you gross 40k regularly
I Must Admit I Am Impressed ! All Though I Do Believe All Trailers Should be Over Built Like This ! Its just Smart Business IMHO ! I Have Pulled 4Ton+ Down a Mountain behind my 4x4 Ford Ranger the 2.9L Engine ! Used to haul a lot of Steal to the Recycling Center and i pulled a 16ft tandem axial tailor that weighed about 1.5ton Empty behind the same Ranger..No Sudan Stops When i Was Loaded But I Am A Country Boy/Farm Boy And I Know How To Drive To ..lol.
Another great video. Keep up the awesome work. If it's possible let us now ahead of time when you are going to do the video on the 4/1 bucket. Have people interested. Take care and God bless.
Manufacturers will be held liable for rated towing capacities. I would think as multi billion dollar companies they did their homework. But your concerns are warranted.
I wish all the trailer manufacturers would build w the same strength but it’s all about the money in the USA. We’ve lost the made in the USA is better!
I built single and double axle utility trailers at my home shop. Just like the raised curve in semi trailers if you look at some utility trailer axles, they are curved. Theres still straight axles no curve. Its really simple. By the time you get a heavy load the axle straightens and tires are straight up and not leaning out at the bottom.
Built with steel that I deliver to them great people around there we also hauled the cinder block for their new service shop at their trailer sales display yard
Stan you could put a hitch on a roof of a car and it would pull that trailer doesn't make it safe . If I was pulling that large loader with all that weight, I would at minimum want a tandem pulling it min 50 thousand pound gvw of truck with airbrakes on trailer.
Yea, you're making a big assumption that the trailer brakes are adjusted properly and in absolutely perfect condition. Trust me, a 7000lb empty trailer will toss a f450 with improperly adjusted brakes.@AceEverett
@@robertvannicolo4435 That's weird cause I regularly tow up to 14k with my single wheel truck and never once had an issue with controlling the trailer. Sounds like something broke on your truck there.
Was just going to comment. The Diamond C engineered beam allows them to be the same weight as an aluminum 40' gooseneck by EBY, except they have a greater capacity.
Why does the owner of southland act like he doesnt know anyone else in the industry doing it, diamond c, maxx d are both doing it to name a few, he is sharing false information and he knows it but is blantely lying
I think your underestimating modern trucks engine and brake setups it not at all sketchy behind the wheel I’ve seen rigs loaded down to 50k ( truck and trailer)
@@DaveInCanada081you know what your right it’s not like the majority of my family is in trucking both hotshot and big rig Also one of my friends grandparents own a oil pipeline company in the mountains you want to see sketchy watch him pull his excavator behind a modified single rear wheel pickup because he refuses to run a semi threw there narrow mountain roads
It depends on what you are calling a dually pickup. I have a RAM 5500 that is factory rated to tow 33K. (43k GCWR - 10k for upfited truck). But I wouldn't call that a "dually pickup" and no there isn't anything rated to tow 50k until you get to a road tractor chassis. Even a F-750 is only 50K GCWR. So not rated to tow 50k. ( Towing is GCWR - truck weight)
THAT'S ENTIRELY TO MUCH WEIGHT FOR A 1 TON.. SINGLE AXLE OR MEDIUM DUTY YES.. BUT 3500 4500 5500 NOT GOOD.... ALSO THAT WAS TOO MUCH WEIGHT FOR THAT TRAILER... YOU COULD HERE IS SQUEAKING... GET THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR THE RIGHT JOB.... THIS KIND OF CONTENT PUT HOT SHOT HUALERS IN DANGER..
Another one of our Great Canadian manufacturers of Many!!
Right on 👊
That Canadians Hawaiian shirt is concerning 😂
Diamond C manufactures engineered beam trailers, I believe they were the first in the goose neck trailer industry.
bingo... and pretty sure they got a patent for it back in 2017
Looking at a Southland dump trailer all the way in Florida, let's go!!!
😆 why not? Thanks for watching!
I'm a contractor from Canada and I can say that I only see southland dump trailers around where I am.

Nice to see you up here in Canada Stan! Great video, great trailer. One of this days I'll buy a Southland trailer. God bless from Manitoba 👍
Cool beans & thanks man!

Country / Farm boy in the same boat here. Well said my friend.
Diamond C makes an engineered beam flatbed trailer for hot-shot applications. Id like to see price comparisons
Another great video. Keep up the awesome work. If it's possible let us now ahead of time when you are going to do the video on the 4/1 bucket. Have people interested. Take care and God bless.
Sounds good 👍
Stan, love your videos! Keep it up!
Thanks buddy!
Impressive
👍
That thing is AWESOME!
Agreed 👍
Great video once again from crazy Canadian country company.
Good stuff Stan.
Thanks Steve! Appreciate the love!
Diamond C, Midsota, Belmont, and others have engineered beam frames. Not just southland
I'm so surprised you didn't went with diamond c
Stan When are you getting a new dump truck
I remember you telling us how these guys in the assembly line love their jobs and have a lot of fun.
Could you show more of that?
Noted my friend! 👍
Welcome back to Canada Stan lol
Thank you, Appreciate it! 👊
So what are they going to do with the trailer that they just massively overloaded? Hopefully they don't turn around and sell it.
Not massively, but I'm sure it's a demo trailer that gets used for stuff like this, trade shows, etc.
Worried about the pick-up truck cowboys carrying more and more.
Manufacturers will be held liable for rated towing capacities. I would think as multi billion dollar companies they did their homework. But your concerns are warranted.
Wud definitely break a ford pickup!
Both Midsota and Diamond C build camber into their trailers…been doing it for a while now 🤷🏻
Biggest issue with any trailer that exceeds 26,001lbs is 13% FET that is due at time of purchase….
I wish all the trailer manufacturers would build w the same strength but it’s all about the money in the USA. We’ve lost the made in the USA is better!
Good insight, though I have been enjoying Canadian products, I still have hope for us over here in the USA.

Didn't know Bryan Cranston sold trailers
My midsota has a arched beam
Nice!
We build the best! 🤟
🤘

Lovin the new dirt monkey.
One video: government corruption
Next video: "Hey, Check out this overloaded trailer'
Third video: CHY-NA!!
😂 thats a good example of what goes on in my head
At what point do you get a semi
Exactly would never pull that loader or weight not being hooked on a tandem need a truck with some ass under it
@robertvannicolo4435 Agreed you can buy a used daycabsemi cheaper than a new diesel pickup haul more weight and be safer
Would be fine with a F450 dually if someone's trying to get close to max. Good trailer brakes do most of the work anyway.

Much better then politics!
Good to know.👍
Might b over kill for the normal person.
True, thats why the titles "Go big or Go home" 😂
here to help
That trailer is a copy of the diamond fmax 312 with max ramps, nothing new just copying the best in the business. Diamond C is the best around
Was just going to comment. The Diamond C engineered beam allows them to be the same weight as an aluminum 40' gooseneck by EBY, except they have a greater capacity.
Dang, the gooseneck portion of the trailer appears to have the exact same neck geometry as the Diamond C brand!
Why does the owner of southland act like he doesnt know anyone else in the industry doing it, diamond c, maxx d are both doing it to name a few, he is sharing false information and he knows it but is blantely lying
There's is absolutely NO way a dually pickup should be towing 30000lbs.
Even this set up is sketchy!
I think your underestimating modern trucks engine and brake setups it not at all sketchy behind the wheel I’ve seen rigs loaded down to 50k ( truck and trailer)
@Doubie. I dont think you are comprehending how much weight 37000lbs is when being towed by a little dually pickup.
@@DaveInCanada081agreed, that guy knows nothing about vehicles and GVWR.
@@DaveInCanada081you know what your right it’s not like the majority of my family is in trucking both hotshot and big rig
