625 horse power

stonerock · Oct 23, 2015

drove a friends pete to town about 40 miles yesterday crossed the scale at 110,000, 625 hp cat engine, 13 speed. I drove it like a 9 speed on flat ground hills I split the gears.ran like a car mash the pedal and off you go.my two KW's have 525 cummins with 13 sp hard to belive how much difference a 100 hp makes at that kind of weight

There was some years back with 12 71 Detroit 8-900 hp was possible, hills didn't mean much!!!

Then set your donkey behind 740 ponys and see how that does for ya. what you were grossen was sort a light load setting on the deck for me . And even on the big hills east of the Mississippi i could top them all at over 75 MPH and every once in a while i might have to flick the little red buttom . Just set back and enjoy the ride. Only one truck did it better then the last one .

Dumb question: Is 110,000 pounds even close to being legal in your state?

Given the grammar, spelling and punctuation. What were we supposed to derive from the message ?

The lack of clear communications causes errors, wastes time, wastes money and can be damaging to equipment or persons.
Give your little speel about communication not being important to the military, aviation industry, medical, legal, finacial or engineering sectors of society . Let's see how far you get.

no, 80,000 is legal wet corn we just fill the trailers and go rite out of the field to town no ideal how much is on the trailer

stonerock · Oct 25, 2015

tractor vet anything after the 350-400 cummins days is fun to drive with a load on. I remember when those were big motors now days 5-600 horse aint nothing. they give us the hp why not load the trailers

stonerock · Oct 25, 2015

vscummins, did you even know you had 80,000 on, we don't have long grades like that around here, short choppy hills that are steep 1 to 3 gears down and your ovewr them. big hores power is a plus when hauling big loads short trips to town like farmers do

Please tell us where you are from so I am not on the same road with you running 30,000 lbs overweight. :shock:

ss55 · Oct 25, 2015

May I ask, do you have a CDL?

If your truck and trailer weigh around 25,000 pounds, your legal load would be around 55,000 pounds. An 85,000 pound load is around 150% of your limit. I can understand under-estimating a load by 10%, but how do you overload by 50% and not realize it? Or didn't you care?

Horsepower is nice, but you also need brakes, bridges and roads to match those size of loads. Our county roads are expensive enough to maintain.

during Harvest in Wisconsin, trucks can run 90,000 lbs legally from the field to the storage destination (farm or elevator), except on the interstate.

Here's the sticker - if you run OVER 90,000, they bust you back to 80,000 when writing the ticket. It only takes one ticket to figure out it isn't worth the risk. Getting caught weighing 110,000 is gonna be expensive.

stonerock · Oct 25, 2015

when I pull into the mill there will be up to 20-30 trucks there 95% of them will gross over100,000. we all do it but I am probly the only that will talk about it. end of the day we look to see who pulled the biggest load in .

With 80,000 on no
you really didn't know you had much weight on it was about like driving a pickup around.
