Nice rig!

How does the 4 wheeled trailer tow down the road?

[armydriver]

Most impressive.

[Mikael S]

It follows realy nice! 60 km/h (30-35mph?) is no problem.
It is difficult to reverse.....

Nice set up with the Bofors.
We have to unhitch our one and push it whenever in reverse, it jackknifes so easy.

It is indeed very tricky to reverse trailers with moveable front axle. I remember training exercises when I served in the German Army more than 20 years ago. It took us almost one week until we managed to handle them. The trick is, as soon as you can see one tip of the trailer in the left or right mirror breaking out of the alignment, you instantly have to steer very quick into the direction you see the trailer. It's a constant "throwing" your steering wheel form one side to the other making you sweat a lot. But it's great fun. If things went too difficult (e.g. reversing in a curve) we hooked up the trailer to the front of the truck and pushed it that way.
