I bought the CHEAPEST military trailer at the auction!

wow a nuther stubet vedo

I looked back at the invoice and my winning bid was $325.

Knowing the military the way I do, there is probably a manual dedicated on how to load that storage compartment with a week long training session.

It’s not what the government paid for the pipe it’s what we the taxpayers paid for the pipe

The government didn’t pay for anything. We the people paid for it and it’s now being sold for penny’s on the dollar after never being used once. Glad it’s going to a good home but the financial waste of our hard earned money is mind boggling.

Being former Army Supply I can tell you that the way that equipment is packed is for shipping only. After a unit takes ownership of a piece of equipment, all of that gets layed out for inventory and then put back in a specific way to facilitate ease of deployment in the field. That trailer was never issued to a unit at all so you got a literal brand new, never used piece of equipment. You can always tell if a piece of equipment was issued by unit bumper numbers which that trailer doesn't have. Also it's O.D. Green and all used equipment should be Desert Tan.

Casey, you seem so nice and happy. I enjoy watching them as I am bedridden with dementia. It puts a smile in my heart to watch you. God bless you and your family!

At 11,000 pounds it worth far more in scrap metal than what you paid for it. Great buy and video.

I've seen the underside of the underreach. Bang it all you want. No one will EVER know. Honestly, when the trailer bumped it I said, 'Oh! Don't scratch the trailer!'

The M989A1 Heavy Expanded Mobility Ammunition Trailer (HEMAT) is an 11 ton, wagon configuration, off-road trailer designed to move the US Army’s Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) missile pods and munitions. The versatility of the HEMAT enables the U.S. military to accomplish multiple mission ranging from its primary role of hauling MLRS missile pods, to aircraft munitions, to fuel pods and bladders, as well as a multitude of other cargo. The four wheel wagon configuration design functions to provide a stable platform with the added benefit of a balanced suspension system to further enhance off-road capability. Another benefit of this design configuration is the ease in which the trailer can be hitched and unhitched to the prime mover. The trailer’s tongue is easily maneuvered to the towing pintle while the load remains stable and supported. This design enables users to rapidly drop off a loaded trailer without the need to support a heavy trailer tongue. Users must only chock block the wheels to create a safe environment around the HEMAT. Curb weight: 4,932 kg / 10,850 lbs. Payload: 10,000 kg / 22,000 lbs. Deck area: 4470.4 mm x 2438.4 mm / 176 inches x 96 inches

I've seen the trailer you sold on the Oregon coast moving very large bolders for the jetty. My work takes me to a customer across the road from the staging area for the jetty project.

When you dream up a new project to build from the ground up; you already have the "from the ground up" part setting in your driveway!

Nice to see Riley. She is growing up fast. Always helpful to dad.

Sweet deal! That would be good for when you folks do your annual junk clean up out on the mountain.

I think a Unimog would match that trailer perfectly?

Taking it to Canada???... 😛

Very good. Best part: father and daughter unhooking the chains. Priceless.

Them auctions will get ya everytime

There should be a National Stock Number on all of those labels. Google should reveal the price.

Great buy on the trailer. I see the on-x bus sitting at your place. Keep up the great videos.
