I've had 3 monster loads on the first gen.. on a 32' flatbed trailer i had 10 bean seed boxes weighing somewhere around 2800 lbs total was right around 38,000lbs.. second was a Case IH JX90U which is a 85 horse tractor i think it had a loader w/ bucket and spike and a bale unroller on back with a 2000# round bale and i had a case 75xt skid steer with a bucket bale spike auger and 2 bits on ther too.. this was by far the heaviest load.. i got no idea how heavy but the sum buck weighed a lot.. also on SRW too.. didn't go very fast..

Uh... Why do y'all get all your loads weighed? I'm not sure how much I've towed with my 92, anyone know how much a case 450 crawler (bull dozer) weighs... How bout a hough model 120 (E4OD trans that is all stock does not like that).

The heaviest my 1st gen (Goldie) pulled was a 20' GN with a 773 Bobcat. She's a beast, she loved it!

wish i got pic's over the weekend here we got about 10 or so inchs of snow a tri axle freight shaker with a 12' state plow and full load of salt slid of the road into a ditch. penndot dropped salt for him but for no good his axles were stuck in the dirt. i offered to try and pull him out penndot driver told me my dodge would never do it and it was unsafe so i waited for him to leave, then hooked up my chain put it in 4 lo and creeper and idle away having the driver leave the truck in N, needless to say i pulled him out and down the road to a safer area. gotta love a cummins. he showed me a scale from his salt load truck weight was 80125lbs, i about s$!t myself. just cant understand how penndot can leave a older guy (64) out in the snow for 2 hours trying to shovel his way out real nice of them
