There designed to be loaded that way... Quick and easy... I've done it with Excavators many times, just never a 9...

All flat road. I'm just saying what he told me sir. Everything we hauled or moved is the truth and I don't lie sir, I dont believe in it. I looked at the video you put up, and only now do I see that the dozer my grandpa was talking about might have been a D-4.

Hope this clears up the confusion?

Sir I have been on them as a kid but I'd love to get the chance to really run one, that'd be a dream come true.

I dont care if it were 10 feet... Its not going to happen. A D-9 weighs in at about 105,000 pounds... Even an old school D8 weighs over 80k... Your not going to get a pickup to even sit still with that weigh. It will split the frame, axles and every other part of the truck...

I've spent 1000's of hours on D-5,7,8 and 9's all over the country...

A D9?

A d9 is about 45000% overkill for any normal application anyway.

if it was possible to haul a 30+ thousand pound piece of equipment with a pickup, my boss would haul his JLG zoomer with his chevy truck.
but it ain`t.
