Until the 550 gets at least a ton on the bed it rides like it’s on blocks. The 3500 is a much smoother ride.

The F-550 literally throws cups out of the cup holder. My 3500 rides much nicer and my class 8 Volvo on air ride rides much better.

The class 8 trucks with the forward tilt hoods have a big lead over pickups in that category.

My forklift works that way. I’ve ran other forklifts that do the same thing. It’s designed so you can hold the brakes and rev the engine...

If I had a 15 ton trailer it would be a different outcome but the weight capacity of the bed and bumper pull trailer combined is about...

I have no idea about the specs but the power attach on my skid steer moves slow and it’s not very strong. It has difficulty latching if...

Stihl 500I and 372 XP but I’m not cutting anything for a while.

Most HST tractors do have clutches but you can’t shift ranges while moving anyway. You have to stop completely and then move the selector.
