Towed 55,000lbs with 135hp today

Well I towed just over 55,000lbs (27tons) down the toad for about an hour today with no issues. 135hp with boost up to 167hp, 16 speed tranny sure helps. :W



Just stirring the pot, lol.
  • It gets 5gallons/mile lol. Tractor weighs 11045 lbs, tires max is a whopping 31mph lol.
  • Is that the new Eco Diesel / Boost motor?

    What's the payload? Does it use airbags?
  • Wish I had a picture, but I towed 200 tons with an early '80's 5.9 Cummins.:B
  • Did you weigh each wheel independently and adjust tire pressure accordingly?
    What's the GCWR?
    What's the speed rating on your tires?

    :B

    Good show.
  • Lol, I was calling for a replacement tractor as that one blew a hub seal on the way to the field. This is my replacement arriving.
