    If you own or drive a 2015-2018 ish 389 Flattop 260-270” wheelbase, 13 or 18 speed preferably glider with a 60 series what is your tractor weight full of fuel and how many gallons are your tanks. I can do the math if you have another motor. The generic answer I am getting is generally around 17,000-18,000 with no fuel. But I would like to be more specific if possible. The picture is strictly for entertainment purposes. Asking for an old retired friend of mine. Thanks IMG_1660.png

    When I steered and geared this one it was under 18k if I remember correctly.

    Series 60, 18 speed, 48 inch bunk maybe ? Not sure on the tanks Im thinking 135ish ?

    That was a few years ago.

    Thanks Mike.
    You got out of New York just in time. Did your home get a lot of snow?

    Im told less than a foot we were just on the back side of the storm. East of us is where things got interesting.

    I ran the weather down in the valley where my last drop is. Mid 90's end of the week, from one extreme to another just that quick.

    This morning I was watching snow plowing on the East coastal towns from my couch. They had well over two feet with huge drifts in the video I was watching. Glad we didn’t see any of that.

    Thanks

    It was until another driver ditched it, and put it literally on its roof.
