Heading to Baja real soon.....

Here are some shots of my rig...

 

[DPeltonen]

On my way back from the Western Rib cook off in Sparks, NV.

 

[TWilkening]

Here's my truck with some round bales. I would have tried for two more on top, but the trailer wouldn't have taken it. Let's say the tires were far from good shape :-laf

I see those round bales all over the place but never knew how much they weighed. How much per bale on average? If memory serves, square bales are 80-100lbs. Can't imagine what the round ones are.

 

[TWilkening]

These were packed pretty tight with a JD baler and are 6X5 bales, so I guesstimate them at close to a ton a piece. The truck pulled real good. I kept it out of OD and it maintained 60 even going up some pretty good hills. I got 2 loads and I averaged about 12. 5 mpg. The first trip had alot of starting and stopping on gravel roads, them I met the tail end of a tractor ride , so I'm sure that brought it down, and the temp sensor pegged. The second trip was all paving and the temp gauge stayed pretty much where it always is. Had EZ on level 1 but no gauges, so I don't know what the temps were.

DP has done it right!

For you guys with SRW trucks with extreme loads or large RV's DP has done it right. Running HD wheels and 19. 5's is the extreme best.



How easy to overload your SRW truck

Dad's baler makes round bales 4' wide and 5' around. They weigh close to 1000lb each. TWilkening's are bigger than that. They look to weigh in the 1500-2000lb range.

We haul our off the field on wagons behind a tractor. The three wagons together hold 27 bales. We'll pull that down the road behind an 80hp loader tractor. No brakes on the wagons. Thankfully all our hay is close to home and only the much lighter cornstalks get hauled any distance.

Well the above quote ansers my questions. Your edit is all I could see until I hit "quote" and then the original message showed. That's a little odd.

JD ain't got nuttin' on New Holland. :-{}

 

[TWilkening]

I said they were baled with a Deere, not that I like them. I'm a Vermeer man myself, though NH is always been a very close second.

 

[Pavemen]

99 LB/CC 3500 2wd 10 speed (US Gear underdrive)

Pulling a 20+5 14k big tex and my 97 gasser trail rig plus all my gear. About 11. 5k overall.

Truck is pulled forward so I could set the ramps. Truck was actually tied down with the rear tires just behind the rear trailer tires.

we have the 535 john deere and are picking up two 18 ft. windrows i wouldnt trade my john deere for ten new hollands probly take that many to keep up with it :-laf

 

[Cattletrkr]

You have my sincerest sympathies.

[/quote] and are picking up two 18 ft. windrows [/quote] Now I'm starting to get a little jealous. Or maybe your hay just sucks.

I do have to admit I' haven't heard anything positive about the latest generation of NH balers. Unless you consider, "they're almost as bad as a Deere" a compliment... had to get one last shot in there.

 

[KBalzuweit]

This was the second load I pulled with the new truck. They are over 40ft long and tongue heavy!

Nothing special but I finally figured out how to upload a picture!:-laf

 

[MHoverson]

First trip to Moab with rebuilt cruiser.

 

[steved]

This was my rig on the trip to southern UT and back...



I figure the camper weighs around 1750#s empty and the trailer was probably pushing 2k... nothing big, but we had fun.

I know its not the right name on the grille, but here's a pic of my Cummins powered truck hard at work, GCW of 35,200 lbs. Pulled it 850 miles with no problems at all. Speed was not an issue, slowest speeds I got down to on the grades were 60mph. The ol Cummins pulled like a champ!

 

[DWBauer]

Here's my last towing trip hauling vehicles for relatives from Kansas City, MO to Reno, NV.
