    I am looking to get a used 3 axle 55 ton or so trailer, with a 4th pin on axle. My question is, how much would it weigh without the 4th axle?

    In Illinois, they would let me have 120,000 gross with six axles total, and I wanted to know what it gets me in terms of net capacity.

    thanks

    What about the new-ish (10 years old or less) hydraulic gooseneck trailers, any idea what they would weigh.

    Thanks. I have a wet kit on both of my semi trucks, so I would not need a hydraulic tank as such. The 25k weight is with the tag axle (fourth axle), right? That axle, if removed, would weigh about 3,000 or so?

    No the 25,000 is without the 4th axle or stinger. Axle is around 2500, stinger is close to 2000. That’s a heavy trailer the way it sets as a tri axle.

    My Trailking is 27,000 as a tri axle with wheel covers and short neck. It’s a modular so that adds up. I have that same flip axle, it weighs 2450.
