I wasn't actually driving, but I did run the D10 push cat once for it.
Manitowoc M2250, fully loaded series 2 or 3, boom up with a Mack Prime Mover over ice roads and ice bridges.
Little over 1,000,000lbs. Crane was around 400T.
Most with a light duty truck?
88 or 89 D350 Dually dump truck with a 360 gas V8 lol.. IDK how much it weighed, but there was a New Holland 785 skid steer in the dump box along with 2 36" root ball trees, towing a 24' tag trailer with another dozen 36-48" ball trees. Whatever it weighed was enough to crack the truck frame and bend axle shafts, multiple times for both issues. It was good job security. I'd get paid one day to destroy the truck and then get paid the next 3 to fix it and then repeat the operation the following week.....
Part of the reason I laugh at the silly 3/4 ton payload conversations on here!
