I tow a 16' deckover gooseneck 3-axle with hydraulic dump, plywood deck, and electric brakes on all 3 axles. Usually carrying 18 of the 3' x 3' x 8' bales of barley straw, I can keep that moving at 35 MPH in second gear , climbing over the mountain. But it has also carried 6 of the 4' x 4' x 8' bales of hay. And getting that load moving, out in the field, is the reason I'm getting the 4.88:1 axle while considering also swapping in a tight 10" torque converter with 12" lockup clutch and anti-balloon plates.
