Yea but I could pull that with a 300 CID 6 too. The problem with that kind of load isn't pulling it. It's stopping it when some fool does something stupid, like pulling out in front of you.
Heck my sisters husband has pulled many loads like that with many different trucks. 77 GMC 1/2 ton, 350 auto. 79 Power Wagon 360, auto (didn't last long he only had it about 2 years went to the crusher). 83 Ford F250 300, 4 speed. 89 F250 351W 5 speed. Now that's between 1977 and today. He's been farming and pulling loads like that sense 72. From 72 till 77 they used his dads 63 Ford. Now that my nephew is farming with his dad they are using the nephews 02 F250 Power Stroke. may now be hay, could be 250 BU grain wagons. He doubles those up too. Only truck he got new was the GMC.
So your truck doing what other trucks have been doing for decades isn't impressive. Maybe it's impressive to you but 1. I never measure manhood by a truck. 2. For those of us who have been around for 50, 60 or more years, well you gotta do something better than that to impress us. Know what impresses me? How about that guy or gal, packing their bags going on their 3rd of 4th or more deployment to a combat zone. Putting their lives on hold for the rest of us. Saying by to family and friends for another year. It's an all volunteer force doing this. Or some of the old farmers around here who have worked hard from the time they were kids. They are impressive too. Or the guy who puts in a honest days work at a job. Or the guy or gal who is just doing their best to be a good parent. Or the kid busting their butt to get through college or trade school. Or even the kid busting his butt to eventually take over the farm. That's impressive. A truck may be cool, but in the end it's just another truck. Most of the adults I know over the age of 35 see a jacked up truck with a loud exhaust and think the driver is compensating for something.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Diesel Vs. Gasoline - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on
