Heaviest load yet

Well, my dad is now in Johnstown, PA after towing his first HEAVY load..He was trying to avoid having to tow it(as its a 150mile trip), but they could find no other truck to tow it with, so he and the Cummins step up to the plate..

This one is 150kw...The old one is a 200kw and is sale for 8k if anyones interested then it will be posted on EBAY and the classifides...PM me so that theres no convo about sales

12k lbs and on a pinnel hitch...

heres a pic

Looks like he has a nice sized load. Kind of a dumb question but where would you find a generator that big at? Nice truck also!!

He MUST have his seatbelt on to stay in the seat, right?

Amazing feat.

I am on my 3rd CTD now and have hauled way too big of loads with all of them. I farm for a hobby and every summer and fall mine see duty hauling grain on my 30' tandem dually gooseneck. I put 2 gravity boxes on the trailer so I can haul 350 bushels on grain. Max load so far was last fall w/21,800 lbs of soybeans on a 5900 lb trailer not including the weight of the gravity boxes. I tipped the scales at the elevator +36,000 lbs.

Hey...you may be onto something there.

I have to wonder why Iker was hanging upside down when he took that picture though.
