    2100 tandem or single

    you guy's think there would be that big a difference in the two on a 2100. i know the ride factor but is it that much heavier than a intimidater that it's gonna blow tires or what.

    i know a guy with a 2100 and a single axel and havent heard him complain about tires or anything. the 2100 is only 50 to 100 pounds heavier.

    Reasons IMHO...
    Single axle - fewer parts to wear out

    Tandem axle - ride for boat, appearance, highway safety (better control if you have to swerve)

    Re: 2100 tandem or single (dartman)

    my intimidator on its single is fine but if you do have swerv she'll give three or four good swerv's her self before she straighten's out! not really a problem but if i was picking out a trailor it would be a tandom just for that reason, more stable tracking behind the truck....................kp

    Re: 2100 tandem or single (cowtrimmer)

    I would go with the tandem. I had a leaf spring break on a single axle with a 20 footer on it at 70mph. It was a violent ride until I got it off the road. I will never go back to a single. Three reasons: 1. SAFETY, 2. If you have to miss a deer that just ran out in front of you or the inevitable road kill is in your path. The trailer will track behind your tow vehicle 10x better and not jerk you around. 3. Tandem trailers don't sqeak nearly as much.

    Re: 2100 tandem or single (dartman)

    was that from trying to swerve or just because it was bouncing over the carcase's?
