I been tossing around the idea of purchasing a Dump truck, Nothing too large that would require a special listens to drive, being the Ford man I am I've been looking at a couple of used f-350 2 speed axles, with steal body dump bed, One is a '81 year model the other a '68, Both are in average condition for their models, Though I am a bit more interested in the '68 because of its simplicity of design, ( All standard ) Not much to tear up, and as well as it being a classic and nostalgic looking truck, a while back I remember seeing someone on here having gotten a older chevy dump and made it into a pretty nice truck, Has kinda inspired me in having one myself, Plus I could always use it around the property and I have been known to do tractor work elsewhere from time to time, Having a small dump truck would be good for hauling away or hauling in materials, etc,etc, ...
But here is my concern, If I had a fully loaded dump truck along with towing my Cut tractor on a trailer would a f-350 be enough truck to both pull at the same time as hauling? the reason I ask is I've been behind loaded dump trucks with hauling a pc of equipment on a trailer and slow to less than 25 mph when driving up inclines, .....
Not to say I would always have both a load and in pulling a trailer at the same time, I just wouldn't want to be caught in this circumstance,
would a F-350 be good for both? at the same time?
