[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1176685, member: 9096"] It's a little better. Hillbilly beef man, Oh I sure know that thing weights more than 3 ton... 3 ton is the trailer weight empty (it's a 30,000 lb trailer with a 12" frame). My truck alone is 3300kg (7000 lb), so I figure that 5 ton on there is darned close to double, the 1000 gallon water tank is 1/4" plate and I'm sure weight a stone or two. Scarey is when you've got a D3 on it, and you're going up a 11% grade on washboard gravel, no trailer brakes (that got fixed for the return trip). I put it in 1st gear, 4 low and pretty much just idled it up. I just know that either losing traction or bouncing a wheel would snap a driveshaft or axle in a quick hurry. Dieselbeef.. Now when you get a real tractor on there it'll make a good picture ;) [/QUOTE]
