Your experience Dargo, is limited.
Well, golly gee, I'd have to agree with you. I'd have to look and see, but I think that I have actually only owned 21 or 22 tractors and/or backhoes and dozers. Worse yet, I've only actually owned 5 dump trucks. And, heck, my lot isn't even quite 200 acres. I know, I've only operated 5 different excavators, about 2 dozen dozers, and maybe 50 or 60 tractors, but that is no reason to pick on me. Heck, you are probably laughing at me because my barn is only a 60X80 barn, but the limited equipment I own is all name brand like my MIG, my plasma cutter, my metal lathe, my air compressor, my 2 post auto lift (no cheap Chinese or Korean steel when I'm under it), my tire changer, my tire balancer, my fork truck, my stick welder, my TIG welder, my 40 ton press, my 3 hp drill press, etc. I'm sure that your truck puts out far more than about 450 hp and much more than 1000 ft. lbs of torque, and your trailer is far stronger and weighs considerably more than my trailer that only weighs a meazley 5800 pounds empty, to carry my name brand tractor I'm sure I paid too much for that only weighs around 7000 pounds. I could go on about the years and years I spent operating and working on heavy equipment but I'm sure it would pale in comparison to your vast experience. I know you have so much more and so much more experience, but at least what little I have was all paid for when I bought it. I'm sure that makes me slower on buying things and gaining the astounding knowledge and experience you have.
From posts in the past, I can clearly see that you have vast experience and have always given advice that is both accurate and sound.
