Towing / Hauling thread.

I could have sworn there was a thread about hauling stuff with our trucks.
I must be loosing my mind. :hh: I know someone has pics of 73-87 hauling a dozer or backhoe or something like that. I had room for another car so I got one. It was a heavy load, but not as bad as hauling a full size truck on a heavy flatbed trailer. |

Re: Towing / Hauling thread.
JCampbell, how heavy do you think that Bobcat is? Did it pull ok?
Do you think a 3/4 ton would handle that? |
Re: Towing / Hauling thread.
I think i saw 843 on the bobcat and is apox. 6200 lbs. depending on attachments.I pulled an 843 home with a bumper hitch trailer and felt like i made a big mistake.Used a 76 3+3 3/4. Took it back to town on my gooseneck trailer and made a world of difference.Felt like it was under control.

She pulls it with no problem, although I think it's a bit out of a 3/4 ton, SRW's league. As it is, I always suck up a little seat fabric when some pinhead pulls out in front of me. |

I love my tow dolly, it is so much lighter than the flatbed trailer.

Re: Towing / Hauling thread.

My dads truck, and its nearly identical twin. Dads is a 73 c20 350 nonair with the heaviest duty suspesnion you could get in a 3/4 ton, 4 speed granny low and we believe a 3.55 rear, and the 74 is a 350 nonair th400 with a 4.10 rear, and heavy duty rear brakes (around a 16" rear drum :wow:) Dads truck has 209 thousand miles, and until a month ago, had the orignal heater hoses, last winter we had to change the timing chain at 180k miles, and take the valve covers off since it pulled the studs out a little but, but other than that the motor uses no oil and still runs like new at 209k miles. 3 sets of points 3 water pumps an alternator and a few sets of plugs. |

no idea what all this pallet racking weighed, but it felt heavier than the pieces of equipment for some reason. there's also a 4ft high stack of 4x4 plywood in this load also.
