Warren D Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 More of speculation, just wondering if anyone has put a diecast 1/25 dozer on the AMT lowboy trailer? I have an old almost-glue-bomb lowboy trailer that I will be rebuilding. I just obtained a First Gear IH TD 25 dozer that I thought would make a good load. Well, I guess I didn't think it through, the dozer is cast metal and weighs quite a bit. I suspect the trailer won't be able to take the weight. I have the AMT dozer kit but probably won't get to it anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROY FERGUSON Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The First Gear I.H. is quite heavy and I would think it will eventually collapse the tires of the lowboy. I don not have an assembled AMT lowboy but will the F.G. dozer be a bit wide for the bed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren D Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 The track width looks ok, maybe just a little overhang. Blade is way wider. Might make extensions for the trailer. I guess I'm thinking of some "hidden" supports under the trailer. I wasn't concerned with the tires a much as the frame but I see your point.

jimstixxx Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I have the red fire dozer on an AMT lowboy with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
