Well last week i started hauling Manure to cover my fields for planting season, the 92 did wonderful, the trailer weighing in at 1800lbs empty and loaded with 3 ton of wet manure for spreading it did wonderful and the thing about it which was even greater was the fact that i didn't have the trailer brakes attached, why you ask, the guy i borrowed the dump trailer from, had a slight electrical short and wasn't able to get the plug back on the wires to where it would work, needless to say i have been farming all my life and well, slow and steady wins when your down on the farm... . The truck handled the weight effortlessly and stopping was no problem, the Getrag worked super :) ... .

I did end up replacing the pulley tensionor assembly last friday, im guessing the weight finally did the unit in, 133. 00 for whole unit + belt, wasn't happy about the 130+ dollars i wasn't expecting to spend but its on and won't have to worry about it for several years again.

Another thing i always attach trailer brakes but in this case i wasn't able to and well things had to get done, didn't want some to think i was crazy for doing it, its just it wasn't happening at the time, got the job done safely and all is well.

Oo.
 
93 heavy

I have a 26k tag and have been known to go with that much total (and from time to time without trailer brakes, but I drive VERY cautiously under those conditions) You have plenty of reserve at the numbers you are stating.
