HEAVY Hauls......

In AZ, CA and i'm sure many other states, you don't have to, they come to you. AZDPS has an entire task force with portable scales. All one has to do is travel I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson and they will have 4 or 5 rigs pulled over at once, on any given day. It is a very good revenue source and they are very good at collecting it...Mark

Hey 1STGENFARMBOY is that bigger JD a multi-fueller? A friend of mine has a similar one that starts on gas, then switches to diesel, then is supposed to be shut down on gas or be hard to start. Way lot of weight with the two on a big trailer though

I don't know how heavy I was, but I was HEAVY. I loaded down my 24' triple axle trailer for 5.5 hours with oak, maple, and hickory firewood. It can haul 20k+ easily, but this load was MUCH heavier than that.
With my 91.5 running 35" tires, 3.54 gears, and in 1st gear on the Getrag, I absolutely couldn't start out on flat ground on pavement...well, maybe I could've, but I wouldn't have had a clutch left. I slipped it pretty badly and still killed the engine.
I ended up having to put it in low range just to start off. Once I got moving, I was able to shift from 4-low back into 2wd, and keep the load moving. It was about a 25 mile haul involving interstates and downtown. I wouldn't do it again, but I did make it home!

Those species weight about 5000 lbs/cord wet. That trailer stacked neatly 3 feet deep is a little over 5 cords.

there is a valve adjustable from the seat, that lets you adjust the amount of water you pull right out of the 13 gal coolant system, to help with detonation.
i have never ran it on anything but gas, but suposidly according to the older men that used them in the field, when you got it up to operating temp and switched to diesel, then got the water injection adjusted, they were quite the brute.
502 cubic inch factory displacment in 2 cylinders.
lesson over

Before I turned my 93 into a crew I used to haul 30 half ton bales on a 34 foot gooseneck trailer. Im not sure what the truck and trailer weighed but I had 27000 pounds just in hay! Fortunately I did not have to haul to far, from the fields to our farm is about 15 miles on the longest haul. I use my second gen now that the 93 is a crew

Wow! Thanks...I was everybit of 3' deep, and maybe more. That would be ~ 25,000 lb + of wood, plus 5950 lbs trailer, plus 6975 lbs for the truck, plus a few hundred pounds for chainsaws, chains, binders, axes and mauls, etc! Goodness...maybe 38,000 lbs+??? No wonder I couldn't start out in high range!

Just wondering since I don't regularly haul enough to tow in 4th gear but plan to. When you tow in 4th, how fast do you drive? Mine seems to be screaming at even 60mph in 4th
