No, It is a Gleaner E with a 3rn corn head and a 10ft bean head. Not sure what it weighs, but I was at DOT max height.

Yes it is old, I only farm 40 acres so it is a perfect size. I usually hire out a bit with it picking 120 or so acres more for a buddy who does 700+ acres.

The old gal is in near perfect shape and has very low hours. I bought it off of a rather large farm in southern MN. I cant really figure out why they had a machine that small, because they must not have used it much. Test Plots?? I don't know...

I pulled it 125 miles to my place and managed to get about 14 mpg. Not sure what it weighs, but I'd guess around 12K plus the grain head at another 1K and the trailer at 6700#, I was dragging darn near 20K that day. So would the troopers have hung me for that?

2001 f-350 with dual air bags (2per side on back axle) 7.3 powerchoke with moded computer 6spd with 4.11 rear. with custom made service body. Loaded with tooling for track repair and a track pin press. truck weighed 23,900 then attached a 40' kountry aire fifth wheel on a gn adapter weighing at 16K due to being loaded with the parts for the D8 dozer needing the repair. wife wasnt happy at all. that totals just under 40K. alot of weight for the poor powerchoke diesel but it did a great job. Got pics somewhere, i'll find them.

that one was probly one of the lousiest runs... the car up front was an INOP, and the F150 we were told was supposed to be a lil' ford run around car, so figured put the inop all the way forward small car on the back we'd be set... NOT.... oh well, swayed like a son of a *****....

Until recently i hauled 8,300 pounds daily with a 20 foot box...total pounds of truck me, two guys and fuel was around 15,800.

The most in the bed, no trailer, was about 3,000 pounds. Both numbers are from scales at a sand a gravel company.

Not real high but, high enough to have very poor milage.

I put a blue tarp in my bed and FILLED it with concrete. I then drove around my house and laid two slabs. The redimix driver was amazed and said he was going to tell everyone back at the plant.

Moved an old nasty boom truck for a neighbor down the street out to Pahrump when the county gave him crap about it. Scaled out at a shade over 33k, still did 60 MPH up and over the pass west of town here!:D Been real close to that several times with other stuff on the GN. Tagged at 34,200#in 12 western states.

I was helping out a friend during wheat harvest, about 15ish years ago. The front drive axle track bar broke on his Binder twin-screw. We transfered all but about 20 bushel onto his uncle's C6500, with an 8k drag axle.

All the way to town, I was cussing that dirty-dead-head-gutless-wonder 366......until I crossed the scales at 54k.:eek:

The 5 miles from town to the bins semed like it could have been 500.

I'd bet $5 he still has the scale ticket to prove it.

I won't claim to have "hauled" this load but I did once only hooked a chain to 7 loaded rail cars & pulled them about 250' figured out the weight at 1.3 million pounds, was nice that steel wheels roll easy on a level track.
