I think you are just teasing us just because you have yours!! Nice pictures. I have opted for the 657G as I think it looks the best on this rig  Paul R

MitchTim,
Did you have trouble with the Spare Tyre Staying on? Mine keep falling off, My have to Glue them on
Is the 24H to Heavy as a Load??

Hi Jim,
They are tricky as are the air and hydraulic lines from the truck to the dolly. I did not glue mine.....instead i used a very small amount of bluetac and it works well!!
I dont think the 24H is too heavy.....maybe a little too long, see below:
- 24H weighs 62 tonnes
- D10T weighs 66 tonnes
- 657G weighs 72 tonnes
- D11t weighs 103 tonnes
Personally I like the 24M as a load.....for me it would be the 24H or the 657G.

Never thought of the blue tac way....all the bits and pieces on mine stay on without help(the spares with the chrome attachment T's go on the dolly)...the more I look at this the more I see...it is one very nice piece of work. Looks good with the push/pull prime mover as well.

As for the total weight, every piece of equipment is alright, just one thing though, the 24H is on the wrong side, since the back part of the trailer is the one that can sustain the highest part of the load instead of the front (not enough tires on the jeep dolly AND the back axles of the truck, compared to the end of the trailer) my guess is that it should have the engine compartment on the end of it, that is how we proceed up here in eastern Canada at least, but I might be wrong since this trailer is found only in Australia where regulations are not the same, and also judging by some pics of a similar machine moved in Australia...
Have a nice day, fellows !!!!

Hi Pat,
You are right however the 24H does not it the other way.....it is too long! hence to display it I had to turn it around as shown.

I must say that is a very unique style trailer. I hope I can still get one, seems they're a very hot item.

Hi Mitchtim !!!
I completely understand your point, like we all say here in our little collector's community, these models won't work that hard, it is just beautiful as you displayed it !!!
Great job, Mitch !!!

24,s need to be moved on platform version floats, the first one ever in Australia came to our dealership on a 4 x 8 back in 96 and was set up rear to rear on the float but it was lifted onto it at the wharf with no tyres, when we unloaded it and fitted the tyres while hangin on the cranes an apprentice got to drive it within half hour of being lifted, something he won,t forget to run the first 24 downunder.
I think i am gunna have to get one of these soon!!

I Remember seeing some photos of a 24 being loaded in a Platform

As I have been told the 24H/M set up rear to from on the trailer will throw to much weight over the drive. And if its set up rear to rear you'd get pinged by the authority's for not having the required minimum 14t on the drive. So a 6,7 or 8 line platform is the best option.
