Biggest load with IDI

[Sycostang67]

I hauled this today, 2400lbs. of scrap metal. Hardly unleveled the truck and aside from braking sooner, I couldn't tell the weight was there. The majority of the load was brake rotors, I collect a lot of them from work.

My truck came with it's first weigh in receipt. It will live in the glove box as long as I own it!

Here she is squatting down grossing 32k. I am 16800 - 17200 with the trailer empty. She is waiting for a new set of springs to show up to give her a lil extra umph, maybe even some airbags. I have to bring in atleast 4 tons a trip since it is 145mi round trip and I can only do 3 loads a day between loadings, driving, and unloading the 8 hours goes fast. This contract I recently picked up for a guy it is around 350 - 400 tons of equipment and iron. So shes going to need a lil incentive to keep it going dauy in and day out.

My brother broke a bunch of brick and cement out of his buddy's backyard, then loaded it up in his 93 ECLB 4x4 IDI with ZF5speed. He ran across a scale at a touch over 12k. The truck weighs just under 7k empty.

The best I've personally seen, though not an IDI; my uncle rolled his forklift into the bed of his 77 highboy and drove it from Oregon down to Sacremento CA. Once he unloaded the forklift in CA, he read the sticker on it and realized it weighed about 10,000 pounds.

I generally move my Bobcat 435 ZHS excavator and my Bobcat 873 skid steer between job sites on dual trailers. its right around 22 empty with both trailers. the ZHS is around 10k and the 873 is 7500. It gets moving pretty easy with the 4.10s. If i have to ill use 2L to get moving and then shift out of it at like 7 mph or so. Some of the 6% grades kill me tho 25-35mph

I can add a pic of it tomorrow.

ya ive taken cars for friends and coworkers to the scrap yard pic-a-part in the center of Indianapolis ive drove out by greenfield greenwood whiteland franklin noblesville plainfield ect ect ect ive driven there from just about every direction and they all suck going downtown

Try doing it every day. I live in Greenfield and work about a block North of the circle. I make the Greenfield to Meridian Street exit every day, have been for the last 15 years, well except for the last few weeks, off recovering from surgery.

My parents came over to help out with the kids while I was in the hospital. Dad drove in to pick me up (at Community North). He told me that if he had to make that trip and drive in that traffic every day like I do, he would day f-it and retire. They live in the country in Illinois, and rush 15 minutes in Danville is nothing like here.......

Here she is with the 1949 D4 Crawler and a 1950s? IH TD14 crawler. She didnt mind them behind her to much. I will upload the video I took while towing the TD14. It wasnt to bad. The D4 was right around 6 tons. The TD14 was between 9 - 10 tons. 75 miles from the job site to the scrap yard and plenty of hills.

if it fits on my truck its going with me.wieght dont scare me,just gotta change driving style to accomodate the load

X3

If I want to pull something I don't worry about weight. The heavier the better

I just had around 27 k on her back last weekend and pulled with o/d hitting 70 a time or two. Slow as hell to get there but after that go go go

Loads range from 250-400 Atlantic White Cedar poles at about 35' long X 4-5" base X 1.5-2" tops, on a 4400lb trailer and the truck around 8500lbs.

With the help of a wood calc, total load of 400 is 37960 lbs.
4400
+ 8500
---------
50860lbs

Most loads are about 250-300 poles which then the load is approximately 23725 - 28470lbs.

Your numbers got to be off. There is no way a load of CEDAR weighs that much

Being every pole is hand loaded, I assure you each weighs 90-110 pounds each. Here, figure it for yourself. http://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/calculators/calc.pl?calculator=log_weight
Dimensions:
ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR
1.5 -2.5 small end
4-5 big end
35' long
250-400 poles

Why am I not surprised of your skepticism.
