    I pull a lot of these and the Komatsu’s. Komatsu is built about 45 mins from me and Volvo ships into the port of Charleston. I’ve got a 20” deck so that helps

    @Humblepie @johndeere4020

    So do u guys simply raise the ride height once you get into an offroad condition?

    Or

    Are you normally unloading on the street.

    Driveways dont really allow us to ride at 4" unless we're ok wish scuffing up some pavement.
     
    cke, Oxbow and Humblepie Thank this.
