Big (and expensive) toys for big boys.

But at least your F-650 pickup conversion shouldn't be overloaded towing another F-650 pickup conversion.

Believer45, that looks like a serious amount of hay, how much does a bundle weigh on average?

rfishoutofwater, thats one heck of a load what would you say that weighs loaded down?

Rajincajun, nice truck I like the yellow, sweet setup with the jeeps and the camper.

Thanks Green Oil

I would scan and post this pic I have but I'm on another continent right now so I'll describe it. Local kid started up a transport company with an '05 or '06 F350 CC LB DRW. Went by his father's shop one day to see that with a 25' gooseneck flatbed, and a military deuce and a half on it. Barely any squat!

Good question COLIN@GREENOIL. Here are some numbers:

trailer is holding 1550 gallons of salt water @ 8.556 per gallon = 132610.80 lbs plus the weight of the tanks of 500lbs for a grand total on the trailer of 13,761.80 lbs not counting the weight of the trailer. which is rated at 14,700lbs.

Truck has a 305 gallon tank weighing 100lbs and with water totals 2,709.58 lbs.

So the total with truck and trailer not counting truck or trailer weights are 16,471.38lbs. I need to take it to a scale. LOL

40-60 lbs per bale, it was only 94 bales. Looks heavier than it is, trailer weighs right at 3000 lbs, total only 7500-8000 lbs trailer and load.

Towing forklift

I was reroofing my house and wasn't going to carry all those bundles of shingles and tar paper up a ladder. This tiltdeck trailer + forklift came in at about 13-14k lbs.
