Towed 55,000lbs with 135hp today

[Prowler_guy]

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.

LOL, I would not exactly call this, "no issues:"

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.

HAHAHAHA good catch

I would say he had no issues for an hour.........

It WAS hour 2, that got him into trouble!

That first hour was JUST FINE!

Reality is, more than likely, with all things. that part was ready to go before hooking up the trailer(s)........

Totally legal here in Ontario. 10 Metric tonnes of soybeans in each wagon. First tractor had a mechanical on the way to the field and the replacement tractor handled the weight no problem. 20mph max when loaded and 16 gears to keep the speed in check.
Drove the big boy today hauling 20 tonnes in the buggy back out of the field all day.

It gets 5gallons/mile lol. Tractor weighs 11045 lbs, tires max is a whopping 31mph lol.

Would have better off with ST tires 🙂 Could have cruised along at 65 mph.

You are reckless... next time you do that I expect you to post your location and the dates and times you will be on the road so that I can make sure I am nowhere near you! 😉

You see that a lot in Europe, especially on tiny lane in the country and you want to pass 😞

27 tons of what? No wonder the road is falling apart.

You should have been driving an Allis Chalmers:

"With no issues" ???
Had to get a replacement 'cause you broke down.

You must be in a state that allows double towing. Did you get your class A license?

[newman_fulltime]

Did you use a weight distributing hitch? If so with or without sway control?:@
