    According to Google, the weight of a D11 is 248,500 lb.

    I know hills and such can be a deciding factor on what ratio to go with. But in the terms of an overall sense, what ratio would y'all go with?

    Curious how many truck loads would a D11 get broken down into?

    Only time you’d haul a D11 all together (1 piece) would be off-road in a mine or somewhere like it and you’d be looking something like this. 3D601834-1AB0-492C-B983-1D2E2FDBD721.jpeg

    Not impossible to see but that 22’ blade is a big’n. Generally it’s loaded on it’s own. Generally.

    Sorry it has nothing to do with this post but I couldn't resist.

    That just reminded me of the all-time greatest American philosopher in history, everyone's all-time hero and the ultimate folk legend, Al Bundy.

    He loved big'uns!
