Hey guy's. The trip was without any incidents, like the DOT checking me out thru all the States, even passed a couple of scales that said all trucks must enter, zipped right on by, OH-IN-MO-OK-TX-NM-AZ-CA-NV-ID-UT-WY-IA-MN-IL, TOTAL of 5980 miles RT., gross weight out to CA was 19,990, averaged 11.6 MPG. Picked up the tractor, plow and parts in Gardnerville Nevada. Gross load was 21,680, delivered to Waconia Minnesota. Drove the 700 miles home from MN in one shot, got off of I-80 too soon to go on US30, 40 miles of stop lights, what a *****
MPG overall avg. was 11.9.
Only trouble was when the son-in-law was driving and cut to short and hit a light pole base going into a restaurant with the trailer wheel, sheared off the spring bolt and the tire rubbed on a zert fitting slicing the sidewall of the tire. $165 for new tire and $1.20 for the bolt at Ace hardware. Sure was a lot of fun fixing it in the rain in Plainville IN.
Will post pics later.
