Alright, first; obviously the weight thing. Its probably around 18 tons
total load with the Cat and the trailer.

Second; it does not appear the Cat has anything to tie it down.

Third; I zoomed in on the 2500HD, and I don't see the Duramax badge on the door. More than likely its a 6.0L GAS engine without the Allison (w/ exhaust brake)!!!!! Best case is he has the 8.1L gas with the Allison or the ZF 6-speed.

it does have chains on the front behind the bucket, but no rear chains...

i might agree with one of the guys on the dieselstop, it might stop better with that trailer and weight if its brakes are working properly... :D

i see this kind of towing all to often around construction sites.. backhoes and multiple skid steers on the same trailer behind srw trucks... :rolleyes:

Some wonder if the truck is really attached to the traler,seems like it to me.

the feet of the trailer aren't down, the brakelights are on the trailer and the truck.... i say its hooked up.. with big weight like that, the loads are easy to balance on the trailer... like i said before, i see that kind of thing all too often around construction sites, guys don't want to pay 150 bucks to have something moved safely so they do it themselves.. :rolleyes:

the dozer is over the axles or even behind a little, the trailer probably has no tongue weight..
