Them are some big stumps. You did not load them with that little tractor did you?

Notice the Dodge is sitting level and the Ford is squatting.
Sorry Chris, I had to. :thumbsup:

Both those trucks look great pulling some heavy trailers!

I actually though it was old Chevy when I first looked at it. Did not blow up the pic.

I agree the Ford is squatting a bit but that is 3 times the load them stumps are.

Heck, my F-250 and my GMC 3500 would squat like a pig until I learned more about GVWR's. I ordered my F-350 as tough as it could be. On a late model F-250 for example there is something like 9 GVWR's available. Its so hard to tell what it has without looking at the door sticker. That is a problem with Fords. I know so many people who bought like I did not knowing there is a difference between two otherwise identical F-250's. GM and Dodge keep it simple and only have a few packages.

Both those loads are massive for SRW pick ups IMO

The weight on the ford is not as well distributed, (to much on the tongue) as on the Dodge. But I don't agree that those stumps weigh just 1/3 the weight of the pallets of landscape materials. Those stumps are monsters.

Probably weigh equal, maybe more. Just guessing, but no way just a third as heavy IMO.

I agree. I had three 36" white pines taken down and was left with the stumps that were certainly too big for my little backhoe. I had a friend bring over his JD 490D excavator to pop them out. We had a local stump removal guy come in with an old logging truck that he converted into a stump hauling truck and even his boom couldn't lift the stumps. He said he could lift around 4,000 lbs fully extended but couldn't lift my three stumps so we had to load them with the excavator. I bet those monster stumps are quite a bit heavier too!

Exactly.
