Seller said it's over 9' high, so won't work. He wanted a fortune for it and with only 220HP, it wasn't exactly a pulling monster. I've had my fill of under 250HP heavy trucks. Airbrakes made it nice for stopping power though.
How do you transport your tractor & batwing bush hog?

again.. it's in the barn, not in my pocket, but sounds about right. 11.9+change?
remember.. it's not a semi-tractor.. it's just an -old- 99 era F450 pickup truck. (cab/chassie )

gott laugh because my father will haul 6-1200 lb silage bales on a trailer behind his tacoma because my ton truck doesn't have AC.
We are stricktly Farm use and exempt from CDL but I always wanted a small road tractor. We always had Ford 700's and 800's on the farm and had way less breakdowns because they are built to haul, plain and simple, on the other hand probbably less miles too, hard to say.

I was under the impression that all '99 duallies were over 12k GVWR?
mine is a 350 and only rated for 1500 lbs
but really only 10k
but really what does it matter what soundguys truck is rated for he isn't the one that ask the question just tried to help and give a answer
how come everytime people bring up cdl's you try to cause trouble
soundguy you should tell him to go buy one then he'll have one he can get the weight rating off of

yep.. ditto that..
from what I hear.. florida has 'easier' transportation / DMV laws than MOST other states... at least that's what i get from listeningwhat some have to do to get tags and or licenses.. etc..
