No rust, will pull the trailer with a T250 in the 50 ish mph range. The excavator in the 30 ish range. The trailer has 17.5 wheels.

Gday Mike, on a twin steer you get 11 ton, on bogie assemblies 16.5 ton, and on tri axle groups 20 ton. When we cart to the local wheat silos we get an extra 10 percent on our gross if the truck rating is high enough. We can get 64 gross plus 6.4 ton as the rating of the truck is 106 tons. however carting back to feam silos we gross about 74 ton. Cheers.

on a twin steer you get 11 ton.

Just a small point for those who may not know , you only get the 11 ton on the twin steer axle group if it is a load sharing suspension . If not , you only get 10 ton .

Did you get an another loboy? Looks like you had some cattle.We got out of the cattle business in 2006.I kined of miss it.

We sold the dozer to the man I worked for during 2006, the place where the pictures I posted in the dozer forum were taken. He's an cousin or something... but anyways, he bought the dozer so the lowboy got sold unfortunately. I'll see if I can find a pic of it somewheres. Wish I had one of the whole rig with the dozer loaded on.

Not a great pic, but it's the only one there is with the trailer.

my dad had a 75 KW W900 with a 425hp 3406 cat. sold in 1996 and that was a sad day but i still see it in the quarry sometimes still got the same paint. that got replaced with a brand new 1994 Peterbilt 378 with a 350hp 3176 Cat still runs today with 800,000 miles and no rebuilds. we also got a 78 Ford L9000 tri axle dump truck but it's parked since 2001 until i get to rebuild it. i'll try to dig up some pics of them in the next few days or so

 

[daugherty102]

this is my daily driver and service truck for the sandpit. and it does go out and fix trucks on the road or goes to the jobsites too.

 

[BillyB]

Very Nice, Makes me feel ashamed of my old truck.

Here's a few pics of my 98' T800 with a C-12 Cat and a 13 spd, been a real nice truck so far. Had one stack when I got her but I fixed that right away.

I guess image tags don't work so:

I read in your lowboy thread that you can gross 72K with that set up, is that the most you can get for the bridge formula due to the trailer being short? How many ton can you haul? What is the tare weight of the truck and trailer? Nice set up!
