It would be quite difficult to even load a Bradley onto M870 trailer. The trailer width is 2.4m, while Bradley track tread is also 2.4m, what means that half of Bradley track width on each side would be outside of a trailer. It is possible to increase the width of the central part of the trailer with additional planks (the Trumpeter kit by default is designed to be built with that extension in place), but even then Bradley would barely fit...
Bradleys are typically carried on HETs, not on LETs.

HOWEVER!... Never say never (okay, I actually didn't say that it can never happen)

Take a look at this US Army manual:

https://www.sddc.army.mil/sites/TEA/Functions/Deployability/TransportabilityEngineering/Transportability%20Engineering%20Publications/Pam_55-20_45.pdf

From page 32 you have instructions for securing Bradley on M870 / M870A1 trailer

Pawel thanks very much for replies
I just love the look of the Bradley ...... maybe I just put and M9 ACE on it instead. Just looking without measurements I would have thought the dozer width would have been bigger/wider.
Bradley will have to go on Hobby Boss HET now

Im still holding out hope that they do a D-7 in 1/35 that will work. The IHMEE will also work as a cargo, as would just about any other 1/35 scale item. In Afghanistan we put everything from a downed Apache to conctrete bunkers and barriers on ours.

Hi Gang, I hope this helps, I`ve just received this kit to add to my growing collection of HEMMTs and HUMMERs.
It is the previously released tractor unit,just with trailer added to the mix. I know this as I've compared the instructions as i want to add the machine gun ring to it raided from Italeri`s HEMMT gun truck (perhaps Gino could tell me if this is accurate or not).

Thanks French!!!!!! The new dozers we received at my unit were High tracked D-7s like they show on the box art, but as long as its actually US military inventory its going on the trailer!!!! I THINK I just ordered one from Mkk, I never put in payment information so we will see.
