Just Pulling A Little Load Of Hay

Just thought I would share a pic of my old truck getting one of it's usual workouts. There is 7, 2200lbs round bales on the Gooseneck. They were hanging off about 2 feet on each side of the trailer.

I figure the whole rig was weighing in about 27,500lbs. I have pulled a load like this 2 times now for a neighbor that totaled his Dodge CTD on ice this winter. The old truck does a pretty fair job pulling it down the road. The take off is the only real weak spot, but that is because of the Auto tranny, I can't wind it out. Bill
