I used it to pull a tanker to haul gasoline, a flatbed to haul hay and a grain trailer to haul grain. The rated gcw on it was about 55,000. I later added a drag axle and grossed 80,000.


Now that's what I am talking about. Sweet tractor and excellent information, Kenneth. Thank you!

How do you calculate G.C.W.?
