Do you think this is to much for this truck truck

Inspector507 · Mar 9, 2004

It does squat the rear end just a bit.......may make for interesting steering /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yep. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Getting moving and keeping it at 65 mph would be the least of my worries. I wonder what it was like trying to stop! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Hard to say for sure from that picture, but personally, I don't think it's too much for the truck, but looks like he might want to consider moving the tractor back on the trailer a foot or so for better weight distribution.

According to tractordata.com a JD 5020 weight is 13,000 lbs. This is well with the rating for that trailer with 2 10k lb dexter axles.

Definitely a prettygood load on the truck.

I htink it is a little heavier than that. I would say it is over 19,000 with those big wheat land tires loaded

I don't have a spec book handy but if the combined weight is over 16 tons he is WAY overloaded for an F250. The maximum combined weight for that model should be about 9 tons. Not a very safe way to operate.

I want to know how he kept her going straight when he hit his first pothole. Those front tires look like their barely touching the ground!

According to the spec book, either an F250/F350, dually or otherwise, the gross combined vehicle weight rating is 20,000#. If that JD weighs as much as you guys say it does,then the truck is very definetly overloaded and downright dangerous to be in any kind of traffic. I mention being in traffic simply because if whoever did this stupid trick wants to kill someone, he should do it out of traffic so he only kills himself.
I do alot of freeway driving pulling a varity of loads year round, and would not even consider that trick. I get pucker factor on the road all the time. It's not unusual to see this. You just try to keep away from someone loaded like this. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Just read the caption under the picture, can you beleive this idiot is actually proud of the fact that this combination weighed 32000#. No, I would never by a used car from this guy. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
