[Randy_the_Hack]

This week's poll question: What's the heaviest load you have ever towed with your truck?

 

[DEERE3594]

I tow 14 to 17k all horse show season long, and how ever much 600 bales of hay and 2 wagons way from time to time..

I had my brother pull my loaded semi truck to "kick start" it as the starter had gone out and I couldn't get it fixed until the weekend!

18000lb mini excavator w/trailer

After hurricane Ike, I did a little hot shotting from Louisiana to Texas. I pulled a gooseneck for a rental company that "they" said was 28K. Not sure how much it weighed but I had 100 PSI in my air bags and it was heavy as hell (more than my 5er). Pulled it about 60 MPH all the way.

When I got to the drop off place the guy there commented that I had to have my truck bagged because a duelly came it towing one of the same trailers and he was really low in the back.

I don't really know the curb weight on my truck, so I haven't done the math, but when we hauled a load of scrap/misc garbage and the gross was about 18,500lbs. Not to bad for an old N/A motor!

 

[Mad Maxx]

My Jet Boat - 2100lbs or my Quad in the Bed - 357lbs

 

[Turbine Doc]

My combined weight when moving my backhoe is 23,900# only 6480 of that is truck

 

[Lancerdually]

just over 34K..............dang seems like I just mentioned this someplace yesterday.
moved a 3t dy 6 miles because a heavy hauler wanted too much. many times have hauled my backhoe.............. 24K rated dovetail g/n with the hoe weighing in right at 19600 to 20K......... she pulls that like it ain't there on flat stretches..........heaves a little climbing hills.

 

[blizzardplowman]

A load of snow plows on the GN, 31,590 across the scale. Truck was working at times, but hey it's got a Dmax

 

[just a number]

I think the most mine soy has had to pull, was a older Chev carvelier but I wouldn't have even know it was back there. now total was load was hauling wood, probably a little overloaded and 1500lbs+ in the trailer behind. I didn't do bad until the long hills. I don't feel bad though, they put passing lanes for transports on some of them:rolleyes5:

Drug a '97 pete, well maybe not drug, with a 53' timpte super hopper loaded with corn last year from the back of the field to the blacktop after a thunderstorm. He was sliding and I was centering my tires on the middle and side grass line out of the ruts. I won't even say how much weight that trailer will hold when full . No idea on the weight but I sometimes haul a bobcat mini excavator with a bobcat front loader on a trailer when my plumbing buddy needs help. I normally tow my 37' TT which weighs in around the 10-11K area, I guess.

Towed a Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 CC LB with a grenaded Dana 60 about 65 miles. Trailer took a bigger beating than the truck. I would estimate the weight to be about 11K.

 

[jcool]

towed a couple big bobcats to a job site. guy said they weighted more than 16k on the scales without fuel or trailer. They had some pretty sweet attachments on them too. oh and my LB7 didnt even break a sweat....

 

[1994ch]

I tow a heavy skid steer about 9500 + attachments + trailer, so about 12000 or so. If it is slightly down hill I coast; when I turn around, my old 6.5 forgets it has an engine it it

 

[BigBlueChevy]

I need something to pull... Sadly the most my trucks ever seen has been around a ton and a half with a really big scrap metal run in the bed. Best part was she pulled it like nothing was there. And she was bone stock.

 

[Mark13]

Heaviest I've done is a 9500lb (roughly) bobcat/trailer combo. Total weight of everything was somewhere around 15k

 

[dmaxfireman]

heaviest trailer i ever pulled was a 36' bumperpull weighing in at a little over 16000# plus weight of a loaded truck probobly grossed close to 24k

 

[pc_renaud]

12,000 was the most, 10,000lbs of small excavator and 2000lbs of trailer.No trailer brakes though dont have a brake controller, luckily mostley on the highway.

 

[ryanryan]

Not much for my truck, but about 10,000 for the trailer and car.
