weight on axles (1 Viewer)

Question about axle weight. I have flatbed rated at 7000, 3500 each axle. The tongue and frame have been reinforced from 6000gvw to10,000 lbs. I need to move a 7,000 lb bulldozer about 300miles. The axles are 3500 with 10 inch electric brake on bothaxles. This should be maxing out the trailer at about 8,000. Do see any forseeable problems.

What would you be towing with? Hopefully something pretty stout.

F250 w 12000 tow package, equalizer hitch. Already pulled the dozer 50 miles on a flatbed with no brakes. Homemade trailer with mobilehome axles. Have two long steep grades to go down in Idaho, Keneiwick and whitebird, so don't want to use that trailer.

Tires will be pretty important. Make sure they are 2000# each at least.

OK, I was invisioning it being pulled by a 40 and was worried. I can't help with the trailer loading question. Good luck.
