    I was really busy and pressed for time last week so I forgot to take any photos of those loads. So last week I hauled 2 bridge beams, 1 box culvert, a drum for a hot plant (this piece alone weighed in at 80k without the truck) and a loader. Well, while I was waiting on the other driver to arrive so we could load the rollers I snapped a photo of what I delivered today. A paver with a cold cow. This thing really takes up some room on the deck.

    Yeah my best guess based on the air scales - it should be pretty close. I screwed up and should have loaded the final drives to the rear, so it really needs to move back - the jeep is right at 40k. But the further back I move it the taller the #### thing gets. I permitted for 14 6, So in the morning i need to deal with the hoses on top of the stick

    I see, I haven't hauled a 480 but I have plenty of 460's, I think the 480 replaced the 460 (but I could be wrong). Based on your estimates without the bucket I could still scale it on 8.

    I drag a fully dressed 349 every once in a while here in ohio. but it better be dang near out of fuel and clear of dirt+ sit it in the perfect spot on the deck to be right. they go about 105 to 110 depending on the model.

    Did you get permits or having to wait until they lift the restriction Thurs? No alternate other than 84 I think, that would suck.
    Looks like Gresham's yard.....

    had to go and rescue this today after I got home. hauled the hitachi out to rescue the 336 cat after he centered on a concrete wall and tipped it into a pit of old pig excrement. had a d6 hooked on a cable to keep it from tipping all the way over. the cat excavator only had 600 hrs on it. all it did was put a little scratch in the rear door . and gave it a new aroma. 20150922_111839.jpeg
