    Just curious. I have never seen one of those units (304/344) ship out of Davenport. We always drive the 544 on with the bucket on the front deck. The carry all their weight on the rear axle. I have often wondered what it would end up like to load the way you did. Can you estimate the weight on your drives by your air guage?

    I'd say my drives weigh about 29k going off my air suspension gauge.

    Only 29??? I would have figured you would be 33 or so! What was the total load weight?

    What a good sport, going to the CAT scale to get some weights just for the sake of conversation.

    I bet Winchester just moved the 544 to the rear a foot or two to get the drives down to 29K. :biggrin_25525:
