15-Operator's Lowboy
 
Vinny shared these photos with me and said He didn't mind if I shared them with you. Awesome lowboy and the Pete ain't ugly either. Trailer is built by M+J Custom Toys, Vinny says Ralph is converting the neck to functioning hydraulic.

It's a really nice truck/trailer/construction equipment combo. I'd be curious to know more about this trailer, and maybe see some extra photos. Kind of wondering what the rear suspension, or lack of suspension looks like, from the underside. I'm picky, but it looks like the trailer could use some bigger tires on it, and the neck could be stronger. It sort of looks strained in the photos, but the Wedico 5th wheel plate sits higher then it should too. Bigger tires would help level the trailer out some, and then the neck could be flatter. Craig, do you know any other details, like cost?

I've seen these pics before somewhere, love this setup. The trailer is really nice, looks very realistic. Even if it may need more axles for this particular load. Tractor looks cool too as a daycab. Looks like a real hard working setup.

No suspension. Bruder plastic tires and rims. Axles also.

I was told the lowboys cost $650.00 and there is a jeep available.

Vinny's tires and wheels look more like Smith-Miller rubber tires to me, although I never asked him what they are.

Claus, I did not mean any disrespect. Just my opinion.

Everything Melvin makes is gold and he is a great guy to boot very nice trailer he has there. I have one too and they are built perfect very strong just too small for a Tamiya..

Definitely not Bruder wheels and tires, that much I know. I think Claus is right. They look like Smith-Miller wheels and tires, but I really don't care for the way they look either. Wish their was an actual suspension too.
